1. Belle Curves
It's hip to be peplumed this Fall. In reviving this dressmaker's conceit, so popular in the forties, designers shone a spotlight on the waist. Jackets, dresses, and skirts all benefited from this soft architecture, which carved natural womanly curves into newly stylish silhouettes at Bottega Veneta, Chanel, Lanvin, Prada, and Yves Saint Laurent.
Balenciaga
Burberry Prorsum
Christian Dior2. Country Life
The fashion flock's native habitat may be city streets, but this season, designers have gone mad for plaid and discovered a need for tweed. Dries Van Noten, Karen Walker, Alexander McQueen, and Thakoon all said "Check, please," while Carolina Herrera, Richard Chai, and Michael Kors layered a tactile mix of tweed, velvet, shearling, and fur. Has there ever been a chicer way to ward off a damp chill on the moorlands?

3. The Long View
From mid-calf to floor-grazing, the lean and mean silhouette was among the freshest on the Fall runways. The look was layered—the long paired with the even longer—at Marc Jacobs, Derek Lam, and Erin Fetherston. The long and lean L'Wren Scott, meanwhile, came up with a rail-slim coat that was just made for her elegant six-foot frame. Though sinuously sexy at times, these ensembles are mostly modest�a Fall wardrobe for an ultra-stylish Mormon. Are you listening, Chloë Sevigny?
Carlos Miele
Derek Lam4. Minimalist Tendency
A less-is-more philosophy is embedded in the DNA of Calvin Klein, Jil Sander, Narciso Rodriguez, and Prada, and all obliged for Fall with beautiful pared-down and precise visions. But this season, even fanciful types felt the urge to clean house. Stefano Pilati swapped his romantic notions for stark, architectural tailoring at Yves Saint Laurent, while Alber Elbaz spun plain into exquisitely pretty at Lanvin. Fall's new black? Black.
Bottega Veneta
Doo.Ri5. Superhero Worship
At about the same time that the Met will be putting its superhero paraphernalia back in storage, fashion-forward females will be preparing to unleash their new Fall power ensembles—a futuristic Balenciaga dress, for instance, or a caped jacket from Rick Owens. Pieces like Haider Ackermann's tough leather jacket or Fendi's funnel-collared furs command confidence and demand a good pair of heels—perhaps not ideal for leaping tall buildings, but then, Superman's already got that part covered.

Fendi6. Winter Garden
Having strewn Spring's runways with flowers, designers remained keen on green for Fall. Foliage flourished in print form at Jean Paul Gaultier, and leaves were laser-cut onto jackets at Fendi. Nature-loving designers Dries Van Noten, Erdem, and Gucci's Frida Giannini brightened looks with late blooms, while Burberry and Ralph Lauren used feathers to make their dresses take flight.
