Military Trend: Autumn (Fall) / Winter 2008-2009
Written by Tania Braukamper
While the luxury bohemian fashion trend takes elements from the Cossack, there's another, sharper military look taking shape for Autumn (Fall)/Winter of 2008/2009. It's a bit Sergeant Pepper; a bit rock; but it's also sleek and it's luxe.
Military looks from Temperley, Ralph Lauren, Alexander McQueen, Derek Lam & Collette Dinnigan.
How to wear it
Gold detailing and ornate trims set off slick military cuts. In 2009, there are a number of different looks you can create - from rock to edgy-feminine to bohemian.
Rock Chic
For the ultimate in rock chic, skinny pants or shiny leggings are the perfect accompaniment. Wear with killer heels and a killer attitude.
Feminine
In 2009 the almighty military jacket can also be played up with a feminine touch. Think Ralph Lauren; a boxy, red military-inspired jacket paired with a floor-length feathered gown. It's impractical, and it works.
Bohemian Luxe
Nothing compliments the Bohemian Luxe trend quite like a military-inspired piece. Team Gucci's over-the-knee fringed boots with skinny pants, foho prints, and a strict military jacket for a sexed-up bohemian look.

There aren't too many alpha-females out there and, though she might deny it, Tania Braukamper certainly exudes their qualities. A keen eye, a focused approach, and a wardrobe spanning three rooms have made her one of the savviest of dressers. But it's not all couture for Tania, earning her fashionista credentials she'll frequently be seen on the town in a one-off, vintage dress and a pair of Gucci heels.
She says: Vintage will never go out of style
We say: Does that include vintage 80s?
