For fall 2010, 7 For All Mankind’s women’s collection channels history’s daring darlings – those iconic risk takers who changed the world while still capturing the essence of femininity. Unexpected details such as deep indigo denim with a black weft, or crystals and studs peeking out of a deconstructed back pocket, create novelty and surprise that is at once bold and subtle.

The denim assortment is brought beyond basic with stunning new washes characterized by rich Black and Blue tones.

These innovative shades vary from deep midnight to a subtle black-cast distressed blue, providing both clean washes and more heavily washed down shades of indigo with unique depth and a modern appeal. In Deep Blue Black, The Trouser (a brand new fit for the season) offers a 4-pocket trouser fit that hugs the body while maintaining a sophisticated, wide-leg silhouette.

7 For All Mankind has extended its expertise in fit, finish, and silhouette to a wide array of fabrics this season. This Non-Denim Revival sees the introduction of the popular The Skinny in a buttery twill version. Also available is an assortment of corduroy and cargo styles that feel incredibly fresh. The Double Knit group has been expanded to include a selection of new legging silhouettes, jackets, and dresses. Touches of leather provide visual interest and add emotion.

Menswear-inspired pieces are updated with details that offer a distinctly feminine feel that is Tailor Made for the 7 For All Mankind woman. A clean, tailored sportswear aesthetic is achieved through details such as pleats, tab-front closures, and narrow waistbands. The Rumble Jacket, in super soft washed leather, is a cleverly fitted tuxedo jacket that perfectly exemplifies the season’s chic sportswear influence.

Trends:
- Blue/black denim
- Denim with elements of black leather
- Menswear-inspired tailored pieces
- Stretch twill and corduroy bottoms
- Military-inspired outerwear

Accessorize launches four inspiring collections for Autumn Winter 2010. Focusing on themes of Futuristic Fantasy, Luxe Gypset Travellers, Pastel Vintage Boudoirs and English Heritage, the stories dive into the top trends for the new season.

Fantasy World
An ethereal collection inspired by a fantastical futuristic wonderland of nymphs and woodland creatures. Modernised with a nod to digital art, whilst absorbing an outdoors essence, the range presents fragile flowers, bugs and butterflies on quirky necklaces and cuffs, giant gem cocktail rings and wet-look patent bags. This modern day romantic story invites in new items such as the textured snood and bids a welcome return to the famous pompom scarf.

Global Gypset
Taking a journey back in time to the 70s, this story brings together the inherent boho characteristics of the hippy era, with modern luxe styling and a hint of glamour. Pattern-clashing scarves in eclectic geo-florals take centre stage, backed up by embroidered heritage bags with tassels and gem stone enhancement. Colours are spicy and exotic, drawing influence from the far-away lands of Persia and the Ottoman Empire. Sheepskin & shearling debut in this range and emphasis is drawn on gold; both brushed and bright alike.

Vintage Boudoir
Enter the girly dressing room of the vintage boudoir collection. Delightfully playing with all things pretty and feminine, the range incorporates a stylish Oriental twist. Lofty cobweb snoods, lace printed bags and kitsch sewing kit pendants and Chiwawa charms, sing girliness and fun. Pearls and Perspex drive this story and a chic nude fringed clutch boasts hero status. The feeling is delicate and whimsical with a sprinkling of magical style.

British Grace
With a nostalgic glance and 1940s wartime, this story is whole heartedly British and presents casual chic at its best. The countryside look is key amongst elements of youth and tea-stained elegance. Medals and rosettes proudly declare Brit-ruling style on bags and statement jewellery. Retro cloche hats are directional and updated union jack prints take form on holdall bags and token shoppers alike. A quirky bow-tie pendant necklace puts a stamp of style approval on the collection and a coronation crown ring is unique and frivolous.

Accessorize is available at Festival Mall, Robinson’s Ermita, Northwing SM Cebu, Greenbelt 5, Robinson’s Galleria, Trinoma, Ali Mall, Marquee Mall and SM Davao.
