Seyi Famuyiwa

The Key Trend: Lilac

"The one fashion trend I’m excited to wear for fall is the color lilac. It’s one of my favorite colors, and I love the juxtaposition of the spring color with a warmer wardrobe. Lilac sweaters, turtlenecks, and even leather pants are things I can’t wait to wear.”

Darren Graham

The Key Trend: Sweatsuits With Oversize Blazers

"I will love to give sweatsuits paired with dad blazers a shot. I think there’s a sense of comfort behind that look that’s piquing my interest.”

Belle L

The Key Trend: Classic Pieces

"For the new season, I’m excited to reference the ’80s but keep it classic. My dream outfit would be a cropped Chanel bouclé jacket, vintage 501s, and ballet flats.”

Franny Fyne

The Key Trend: Coordinating Sets

"A matching set (like this) is key and can be worn easily in summer or fall with a timeless trench coat.”

Didier Young

The Key Trend: Statement Outerwear

"Coats have always been my kryptonite whenever it comes to fall fashion, and the runways this year have been filled with gorgeous statement coats that I am looking forward to adding to my collection. I’ve also noticed plenty of puffy options, which is fantastic when you live in Canada as I do.”

Yusra Siddiqui

The Key Trend: Clogs

"I’m honestly so excited for clogs. We saw them a lot this summer, but I’m predicting they’re going to trickle even further to fall, especially the suede and fur-lined pairs. They’re controversial, but I think they add such a fun element to any outfit.”
