Vogue’s Online Trend Watch was the inspiration for today’s post. In this video, stylist Elizabeth Sulcer has given advice on fall must have items along with 3 trends for fall.

Instead of listing specific products, Elizabeth said must have items need to be personalised to suit your taste. You need to think about timeless pieces you’ll love for years while keeping with the modern themes below. I’ve picked out an item of clothing for each trend that I’d choose as my timeless piece for Fall 2009:

Trend #1: Power Dressing

Inspired by the 80s
Main features include strong shoulders, narrow leggings and folk rock accessories
Inspiring designers include Balmer and Alexander Wang

Must have item: This Definitions Check jacket with just a hint of detailing at the shoulders. It may not be as strong as the season calls for, but I love the feminine cut.

Trend #2: Cool Androgyny

Inspired by the late 70s
Main features include natural and new tones and a play on masculine and feminine
Inspiring designers include Yves St. Laurent and Catherine deNeuve
Must have item: This Dune Mollette clutch bag will add the colour and femininity needed to bring neutral tones to life.

Trend #3: Architectural & Cultural

Inspired by Modernist art and includes volume, texture and cut out prints.
Must have item: This Teatro leopard print pencil skirt combines silk texture and  a modern print to a simple pencil skirt.
