Fashion Trends for Fall: Big Shoulders, Even Bigger Coats and a Color Story to Dye For

Red, Black and Blue

Color took a turn for the cinematic this season.

Valentino's Alessandro Michele bathed his collection in deep, bloody red, reinforcing its intensity with a show set in a Lynchian restroom. Meanwhile, Akris explored blue – midnight, cobalt, and cerulean dominated a collection that felt like a meditative study on fabric and light.

Balenciaga presented black as a statement rather than a default, stripping away excess and letting the depth of the shade do the talking.

The takeaway? Monochrome dressing is in, but it's not minimal.
