What can you say when a certain trend is recycled season after season? It means that it's a cult classic coz any recycled trend shows the seasonless and timeless-ness pieces that you should have at least one in your wardrobe. Take the camel jacket for example. It's been featured year after year in the Shortlist magazine - in 2007, 2008, 2009... and now in 2010, it made its appearance one more time. Proven that camel is not only one of the color of Fall/Winter 2010, but also a color of autumn season in general.
IMO, the only difference this time is the new silhouette of the jackets which tend to bring back the glory of the 70s with the peak lapels and figure-skimming, jetsetters playboy look. There's a variance too from one buttons single-breasted to db jackets in many shades of camel, with choices of fabric finishes like micro-cord and wool-cashmere, to corduroy and cotton moleskin. Overall, very sharp tailoring yet a more relaxed 'shoulders' unlike in the previous seasons with more towards the emperor look.
My fav: Gucci and Micheal Bastian, for their lighter shade of camel and more waist-hugging jackets.
