The key looks are determined by fashion moving on to newer versions of familiar themes. The old themes get refined, pared down or vamped up.  This makes them seem so much more polished, creating a new desirable appeal and regenerates the fashion kudos.  Now the key trend for Autumn 2007 is fashion with a sophisticated touch of glamour.  Of course to stay at the head of the latest trend you need to follow the key Pantone colour trends.

In brief, the foundation of autumn winter 2007/8 key trends are based on  glamour, shine, embellishment and  bold bright colours.   The latest fashion themes cover military tailoring, relaxed easy to wear coats, leather, dresses, oversized knitwear, and black on black texture.

Take note of how the fashion seasons are merging.  Pre-collections, cruise and resort ranges, once just extra collections to feed an ever hungry clientele, have now become as important to designers as the original twice a year collections. The new super-class of shopper is able to afford staying ahead by buying the latest costly wardrobe additions.  Countless consumers find it undesirable to be caught out wearing passé or inappropriate apparel.  The global nature of fashion today ensures that mass retailers keep up especially well.  If you have been following these pages for the past few years you will have already bought hot fashion items that are in line with the Autumn Winter 2007/8 new season. 

The relentless hype from the internet is such that many shoppers now vigorously purchase clothes all year rather than for the 2 major seasons.  Fashionistas steadily buy into the next big look, always ready, always primed to scour the latest clothing rack.  Staying ahead of key trends has become easier to achieve with the rise of internet fashion shopping. Internet fashion shopping is now up a whopping 55% since last year and has overtaken sales of computers.  Fashion racing is happening because of the way we now travel and communicate with increasing ease through the global village.
