Fall Fashion Trends for Women

The women's ready-to-wear clothes that appeared at the recent Paris/Milan Fall '06-'07 runway shows were an eclectic mix. Incredibly light and airy fabrics alongside furs; solids, leopards, plaids, and snakeskins; neutrals, reds, blues, golds, and metallics; and
 a touch of androgyny to complement the feminine. Snakeskin bags, leopard prints, 80's leggings, tights, bell-shaped coats, and fur were among the fall fashion trends for women spotted on the runway.

Chloe showed sophisticated office styles; Prada favored funky fashions in fur and animal prints; Botega Venetta was about classic looks: plaid skirts with cardigans and suits with matching snakeskin bags. The Preen show was an homage to winter: metallic silvers, grays, and steel blues; Gucci was glamour with an edge: metallic whites, heavily tailored masculine pantsuits; and Chanel played with hemlines of all lengths.
