Another day - another trend. Today I wanted to share with you what I thought would be an overarching styling detail for Fall 2013. Seen on dresses and shirts before, contrasting collars and plackets are evolving into sharper style lines. For upcoming seasons, designers are turning these emphatic lines into trimming and piping details accentuating pockets, armholes, necklines, hems and seams.
This trend is not reserved for dress shirts solely. Dresses are being styled in a similarly sharp way:
Coincidentally, yours truly just came back from Holt Renfrew where I spotted this dress by Michael Kors:
As you can see, the trend is on and it's high time to make a sharply lined number for yourself. A self-made alternative to this trend can be easily found in a Vogue patterns collection.

Happy designing!
