From glitter face (Maybelline’s Blade Runner inspiration) to stylized eyeliner (Altuzarra, Tom Pecheuz), to Lady Gaga's newsworthy dark outline eyes and goth lips (Marc Jacobs, Francois Nars). New York Fashion Week has had some curious moments, but the overall makeup look for fall seems to be au natural. Yep, despite the bold strokes, the natural look isn't going anywhere!
I looked at the runways of some of my favorite designers for a hint at the direction F/W 2016 fashion trends are heading.
I saw quite a bit of structure, neutrals, and color blocking. Natural colors, polished looks and tailoring with pleating and quilting are looks that aren't going anywhere. Calvin Klein had several looks with suspended gemstones that I thought was very special. There was patchwork in more than just a few places.
Global prints dominated a few designer shows, especially my favorite, De
ƨigual who had gorgeous floral ethnic prints, warm cozy knits, globally inspired patterns and accessories to die
for – hats, boots, bags, I want one of everything from this designer!

I identified 3 specific things that looked like would be Fall/Winter 2016 trends:
Long coats
I think designers are predicting a cold winter because floor duster coats were everywhere. I personally love the idea of being fully enveloped in a long coat to keep me warm!

Dresses, mostly. With the entire garment made from lace. I'm already shopping for my fall lace dress!

1960s mod
I saw several 60s inspired cuts and colors, with a decidely modern twist. After all, we don't want to go totally retro.
