With fashion week over, many design-crazy fans are trying to piece together the emerging trends of 2009. We’ll save you some legwork. From D&G to Versace and Dior, We’ll highlight the overall trends you can expect to see emerging in the ready-to-wear market.


In surprising prevalence, flannel and frills made a splash at fashion week. Multiple designers used flannel as a key element in their clothing designs. Accessories are sure to follow suit and you can expect to see flannel bags, shoes and even eyewear with flannel patterned temple bars.


Perhaps owing to the media’s portrayal of 2009 as “a touch time ahead” fashion has responded with a more masculine look in women’s fashion. This includes baggy Bermuda shorts, boot-heels and baggier shirts and jackets. Boyfriend jeans and black denim are also expected to emerge as a result of fashion week.


Finally, leopard print made a surprising come back this season, surly a sign of things to come this fall and winter. However, a trend that dramatic is unlikely to blossom quickly. Expect leopard print accessories, especially in varying colors, to appear late summer.


Themed clothing has always been in style. This year, themes were expanded upon to encapsulate entire fashion trends. Black and white horizontal stripes, which were in fashion late last year, have reemerged, but with a sailor twist. Similarly, black lace became popular in late 2008 and has resurfaced during fashion week mixed with masculine accessories to give a contradictory yet inspired appearance. Expect metro sexual styles to become ever more popular in 2009.
