Mercedes Benz fashion week kick starts today, and we are looking forward to the communality of designer’s collections for fall 2009. MB Fashion week will feature small boutique designers to the bigger fashion houses. Such as BCBG, Calvin Klein, DKNY, and Ralph Lauren. But what are we seeking from this years trends, characters, and social gathering? Here’s a preview to what we will be looking for:

What are the fall 2009 trends this season?

What does fall have in store? What will be the “it” color? Which outfits will dominate the couture lines?

What will the designers (characters) bring forward?

What will Calvin Klein, Donna Karen, BCBG and Carolina Herrera bring forward on the runway? And has the down turn in the economy inspired ‘grays’ to ‘longer skirts’? No more ‘minis’ maybe?

What will the social gathering harbor?

Let’s see what the socialites will be donning at the runway shows this season. From gloves, hats, coats and bags. The whole celebrity shebang will be there.
