We're not yet a quarter of the way into 2010 but, in the industry that is fashion, our eye is always firmly on the future. And in this case that means looking past even the forthcoming Spring 2010 season and looking to Autumn / Fall 2010 color trends. As they have done in the past, both Pantone and Lenzing have released their takes on the forthcoming color trends for Fall 2010. They see the Autumn / Fall 2010 season as a mix of colours for women that fuse practicality with a sense of travel and adventure.

And yet, with March in full swing, the official start of Spring 2010 is only weeks away. And that means it's time to refresh your wardrobes. And what a time it is: the first new season for 2010, and the first since the affects of the global financial crisis have begun the wane.

Bows. They're the more time-tested and socially acceptable cousin of bunny ears, a trend that took the fashion world by storm in 2009. So, heading into 2010 fashion trends, are bows the accessory that will outlive the bunny?

Futurism. It's something of a paradox. The future cannot be predicted; but in envisioning it, we can create self-fulfilling prophecies. You could go crazy just thinking about it - so instead let's just say that the dawn of a new decade has sent 2010's fashion trends into sci-fi and futurism overdrive.
So how do we define futuristic fashion? As a Spring 2010 fashion trend it seems to be less about gadgetry and more about future environments. We're faced with collections that contemplate dystopia or evolutionary change. Topics of science fiction are woven into the threads of some designers' clothing, while others base their designs on more traditional views of futurism.

A shearling lined leather jacket; some masculine boots; a pair of vintage goggles. You don't need a pilot's license to justify adding any of these to your wardrobe, for their mere presence conveys a spectacular sense of adventure. And so it is that the classic aviation pioneer is an undying source of fashion inspiration that keeps popping up time and time again, regardless of - yet inevitably tied into - the world of fashion trends. And at the centre of the style is of course famed aviatrix Amelia Earhart: a pilot, icon, and fashion designer in her own right. Read on as we explore the aviator look and how to wear it.
The 1980s fashion revival is coming to a close. But the revival on earlier periods, particularly from the 1930s and 1940s, remains popular. So what to do then with the military fashion trend which has proved the stalwart of fashionisers' wardrobes for the past 2 years? Evolve it. Play down the over-the-top glam pieces taken directly from the 80s, and infuse the historical military look with something far more classic, far more relevant to 2010 fashion. Introducing the Autumn (Fall) / Winter 2010 evolution of the men's military clothing trend.

While Fashionising.com's constant fashion trends coverage will one day serve for an in depth look at fashion trends of the past, our relatively young age means that we don't have complete coverage of the past decade. Instead, with the next decade fast approaching, we turn to New York magazine for their take on all the major fashion trends of the 2000s.
In 1982 Olivia Newton John told us, "let's get physical". And though the 1980s fashion revival has been and gone, Olivia's words will still ring true among 2010's fashion trends. No, we're not talking fitness-induced sweat stains, neon lycras, or hideous headbands. Instead sportswear becomes streetwear in Spring 2010 - in all its sexy, svelte, and effortless glory.
Alexander Wang's inimitable cool factor puts him at the fore of this trend. The young, fresh interpretation he sent down the runway for Spring 2010 means we'll all be looking to American football for an injection of youthful tomboy cool into our wardrobes come Spring. But while football is key, it's not the only sportswear inspiration: we'll also be looking to sports like baseball & hockey, tennis, scuba-diving, and dance.

When I penned Fashionising.com's bible of hair trends for 2010 I promised one more addition to the list of 2010 hair colours. Why? I did so not because of looming deadlines, but because this particular colour trend deserved it very own article.

But with the end of the 2000s and the start of the next decade it's time for the blonde bombshell to make way.
