A, For Architectural Shapes
Art and fashion are consistently borrowing from one another, a rapport that reinvents itself each season. This fall, it's all about geometric shapes and strong lines that give structure to even the slinkiest of fabrics. Feminine blouses get a sculptural twist with origami folds and tailoring, while shoes make a statement all their own with cutouts and strong, innovative shapes. Jewelry becomes bold and angular, tending to favor sleek minimalism, and handbags find themselves situated in the realm of boxy satchels and clutches. Pairing a flowy dress with a structured coat a la Rick Owens or pair of sculpted heels (we love Martin Margiela's varnished pair) is the simplest way to show off your mastery of this trend. Go to Elle's Fall A To Zee Trends to see Joe's picks, and click on our slideshow for even more architecturally-inspired looks!
