NYC-

Clothes for Fall 2008 are seriously conservative or outrageously bold and colorful. Designers played it safe with polished lady-like and precisely put together traditional classics mixed with hyper florals and Gustav Klimt inspired graphic prints that are new and appealing. Coats such as trenches, macintoshes and pea coats have been spruced up with metallic threads, rich brocades and all out color. While structured blazers and sleek voluminous coats hint at masculinity. Elegant high waisted full-leg trousers are a must have for fall as is the new ruffled blouse. For evening strapless dresses and red carpet gowns feature a new shorter length. Eco-friendly organic fabrics such
as bamboo, hemp and organic
 wools were also a
big hit.
