Sure, there are plenty of style insiders we look to for insight into where fashion is headed, but a select few have a hand in charting that path themselves. Among them is Lauren Santo Domingo, co-founder of Moda Operandi and arbiter of all things chic. The New York City-based fashion entrepreneur is a front-row fixture at Fashion Week and is attuned to what modern women want to wear.
Santo Domingo is also being utilized for what customers are shopping for in the coming season, before the pieces hit the virtual shelves. Moda Operandi offers pre-orders right off the runways, so their team has hard data on the biggest sales drivers long before they actually ship. With that insight at hand, and the most memorable F/W 22 runway still fresh in her mind, I asked Santo Domingo to weigh in on the biggest fall trends to know about this coming season and the exact pieces to must buy in. Ahead, get an early look at five trends expected to be huge this fall.
