Fall 2009 was a season rich with metallic options but if you're not keen on investing in Chris Benz's metallic blue blazer or Preen's watermelon pink trousers not to worry. Classic little gold cocktail dresses were in many of the collections, and touch on the trend without being necessarily trendy. To that end, here are ten great examples from the Fall 2009 season. Our favorite? The yellow-gold number at Calvin Klein.
Before or after you get deeply involved with the Carine Roitfeld videos you might want to check out two bizarre fashion items we happened upon today by chance--okay, by Twitter. Goyard, who created that controversial laptop case has also designed a custom trunk for Barbie's 50th Birthday. The trunk is now available at Colette for a whopping $3,752 approximately. Colette, for that matter, stocks all kinds of wild Barbie collectibles though most fall in adult fashion terrain and so don't amuse us quite as much. As for children's apparel, our pals at Fabsugar UK posted an interesting poll this afternoon: are metallic leggings for babies freaky or fabulous? Thank you, Topshop.
Who says metallics have to be reserved for holiday parties--this Spring 09 designers embraced metallics and mixed them with bright colors or used them for elegant nighttime looks. Prada and Marc Jacobs, household names that they are, both used metallics as a main point of interest in their Spring collections. Otherwise, many designers used sequins and embroidery to display metallic shades. Check out our Spring 2009 trend report below with our favorite examples from the season.
