Jeffrey Kalinsky’s Fall Trend Forecast: 

Out with the minimal, and in with the maximal- so goes the ever-revolving door of fashion trends. For Fall 2017, we are revisiting the powerful, exaggerated silhouettes and over-the-top embellishments of the 1980’s. From New York all the way to Paris, runways were lit up by each designers’ newfound flair for extravagance. It is finally time to open your minds and your closets to daring, yet infinitely chic possibilities. Shop on…

Power Shoulders: One of the most memorable fashion moments of the 1980’s (aside from the larger-than-life hair) were the larger-than-life shoulder pads. Think cropped couture jackets and little party frocks all with a dramatic shoulder line that creates the illusion of a smaller waist.

Fun Furs: When the temperature starts to drop, nothing says decadence quite like swathing yourself in fur. This season, don’t let your exceptionally soft selection of outerwear be merely utilitarian; instead, choose one that is just as unique and cheerful as it is cozy.

Rare Birds: Feathers are no doubt the biggest story in embellishment this season. Bright, bold, beautiful plumes could be spotted flouncing down the catwalk of practically every major designer. 

Give Them the Slip: Who says silken slip dresses must be confined to the bedroom?  If you are afraid of being mistaken for a sleepwalker, layer an asymmetrical, lace-trimmed slip over a t-shirt or sweater for a decidedly modern look. 

Flower Power: As Miranda Priestly famously taught us in The Devil Wears Prada, florals are by no means groundbreaking for spring. They are, however, an unexpected delight for fall and winter. This season, designer’s showcased moody, yet bold versions of the print that would feel right at home in an 18th century painting.

DIOR. 25th annual Jeffrey Fashion Cares August, 28, 2017

There will be fireworks at Jeffrey Fashion Cares this season through an explosive runway of designer sequins, sparkle and shine! Givenchy, Balenciaga, Dior, Louboutin, YSL, Dries van Noten and Michael Halpern were just some of the labels I was fortunate to get a peek at this week. It's a thrill (for me) to sit in on the fittings and as the only invited media to do so, it's also an honor. For the most part, I sit quietly and simply observe, having conversation with Jeffrey Kalinsky only between fittings.

It's absolutely mesmerizing watching Jeffrey at work: "Is there another bag? Let's try the sheer stockings. Did we like the hat? We should go with the drama..." He has such a defined vision of glamour and elegance that is as timeless as it is modern.

Accompanying the runway bling, expect to see velvets, plaids, structured blazers and suits. Lots of color and lots of volume too. And let's not forget the gowns! There will be 60 looks gracing the Jeffrey Fashion Cares runway and I can attest that you'll lose count of how many showstoppers are in the show. Good luck choosing faves. Grab your sneak peek with the slideshow above - photos by Tomas Espinoza.

The 25th annual Jeffrey Fashion Cares is Monday, August 28th at Phipps Plaza. *Purchase your tickets below.

Exclusive: Runway Preview to Jeffrey Fashion Cares 2016

"Does it look too vintage? Hand me the YSL clutch... yeah, that's better..." AND then, Jeffrey Kalinsky proceeded to direct the young model on how to hold the clutch and a flawless runway look was born.

It was such a privilege to spend time within the inner sanctum of the Jeffrey Fashion Cares show fittings and runway line-up process. Jeffrey and his team are perfectionists. Their approach is similar to that of an art curator laying out and important exhibition. Every single minute styling detail is considered - every shoe, every belt, every bag - until a complete and impeccable look is achieved and met Jeffrey Kalinsky's creative and clear-cut vision of his brand.  

The line-up features more than three dozen looks - the latest runway showstoppers from high end designers such as Givenchy, Simone Rocha and Saint Laurent Paris will turn heads on Monday, August 29 at Phipps Plaza. There is lots of color and texture in the show as well as all black, all chic looks. And let's not forget the parade of traffic-stopping, to-die-for footwear!

Jeffrey Fashion Cares will be spectacular. It always is, but as I witnessed this week "always" is not taken for granted. The Jeffrey Fashion Cares runway is a fine-tuned, well-thought and meticulously planned production.
