From runway to retail

MANILA, Philippines - The black and white trend continues to be a fashion favorite not only on the runways of Milan and New York, but for retailers across the country. No surprise there. Whether you’re going for an edgy look or a soft and feminine one, black and white is your go-to color combination. No longer limited to just eveningwear, this twosome can transform your look into just about anything while always maintaining a level of sophistication.

This fall, popular trends from the runways make their way to the accessible racks of retail. Quilted faux leather jackets and faux fur coats, which take cues from fall/winter runway looks, can now be easily obtained in retail stores. Knit cardigans with bold detail and striking patterns, leather boots of all styles and oversized coats by high-end designer brands have also found their real-life counterparts in retail. ­
