Here are some of my favorite looks from the Emporio Armani Fall 2009 Collection. Compared to his standard tux inspired designs, this collection that had a much more youthful, sometimes schoolgirl-ish feel. But I still thought the overall looks were sophisticated and classic.

Fall 2009 is the season of the jewelry collaboration. The 'It' jewelry bauble will replace the 'It' handbag. Breaking into the New York scene is Hervé Van der Straeten, whose geometric jewelry will gild Ruffian's collection (above). Most of the high end designers are teaming with a jewelry designer to create an 'It' bauble for the upcoming Fall/Winter 2009 collections. I have a problem with this as I don't like to wear heavy or large jewelry. The bracelet pictured above looks nice, but in my realistic, everyday life, it would get in the way. And you know all of the 'It' baubles are going to be big, in order to be noticeable. It's not like a handbag, that even if it's a little clutch, it's noticeable. I'm predicting an unpopular trend.
