FA S H I O N WE E K FEBRUARY IS ALL ABOUT LOVE AND FASHION – BUT MAINLY FASHION HERE ARE THE TRENDS WE FELL IN LOVE WITH
BOHEMIAN URBAN CHIC Edgy sophistication and the revival of indigenous cultural prints were big this year. ADAM drew inspiration from Alaska's Native American tribes while Mara Hoffman’s collection exuded "spiritual warrior” flair. Rebecca Minkoff offered a combination of luxury and urban bohemia – don't be surprised to see stores filled with silk prints, leather and fur this fall in an attempt to induce you to dramatically upgrade your style. Designers are also saying not to be afraid of dressing up wardrobes with bright shades of red or mixing textures with unconventional fabrics. ADAM’s foliage-inspired feathered mini-skirt and black cable-knit wool sweater is the perfect way to embrace fall and blend in with nature. The spiritual warrior look might not overtake Washington – long, black capes with thick eyeliner aren't the best choice for Capitol Hill – but embracing your inner priestess and layering dresses with big sweaters will create a flowing layered silhouette that will have District denizens singing "Hail to the Cheiftress."
