Trendwatching: Leopard & Jelly September shows Fall previews
Posted August 6th, 2010 by Mitsu
Bye Bye Girly Style! Woot for no more floral prints! (Except always in Liz Lisa of course 
)
I really liked the September issue of Jelly. They styled some great Fall previews so I scanned them. All pages 1000px width, click to enlarge 
This Fall leopard print marks the spot! (Oh puns)
I especially love the idea of leopard accessories. :sparkle2:
Call me crazy (you won’t be the first), but I’m currently lusting after leopard wedges. My thanks to a certain orange pixie of a Popteen model (Wei Son) who is rocking the Louboutin pair
The olive colored shorts seem to be shaping up as a trend, too :upheart:
Fall Gyaru Collections
Shown are 25 brands outfits. I’ve bolded some fall trends shown by the looks.
Dazzlin – is showing off the Tibetan Fur trend with a vest
Cecil McBee – plays with the sheepskin and leather trend + the nordic boom.
Lip Service – seems to be sticking to business as usual.
Backs plays with leopard + bowler
Gilfy tries a nordic ethnic blend with oxfords
Egoist goes ethnic
Spiral Girl – shows off olive, relaxed denim & tibetan fur trends
Swordfish – goes with fur, olive cargo pants & ethnic print
Duras – continues its French chic theme mixing tibetan fur, loose denim & white
Notice all the open toed shoes? Oh my toes in the Winter 
Do not want 
Emoda – tries out sheer and Miliya hat (unsure if that hat style will be Fall trending)
Murua – goes with chain print and damage denim
Rienda – tries out zebra and corsetry (didn’t Gimlet put out this look in Spring? someone dropped the ball)
Sly – went with beige aka “nudy”, leopard blouse, and mini fedora hat.
The SLY look gets my vote for best look :sparkle2:
I’m in quite a pickle of thinking what to name that hat. It will be trending and the top looks like a fedora so I’m calling it a mini fedora for its small brim. Hat aficionados any ideas?
Re Dark – goes with leoaprd, damage and red
Heaven and Earth – tries a mannish simple style
Vence – Mixes chino pants and oxfords
w♥c – tries the elastic waist shirt and baggy denim
Swanky – just goes Abercrombie
Delyle – works with monotone
Miel Crishunant – sticks with a girly look they’re trying to call vintage
Jel’emets Solo - goes simple with a long onepiece
Laguna Moon – experiments with winter white and short cowboy boots
Barak – concentrates on layers
Titty & co – tries girly nordic
Glad News – has fun with lace-up boots, fringe and a bowler
Titty & Co’s short sweater seems like a fabulous way for the cropped shirt look to continue onto Winter, especially when layered.
I kind of fell in love with Glad News again with that sleek outfit. So hot :sparkle2:
Opinions…?
What’s your favorite & least favorite look.
What trend do you love and want to try? Which trend do you wish gone?
Edge-S article: I ran across this nice blurb about Edge-S in Japan Today about its marketing concept. It’s an interesting short read (here) :sparkle2:
I like cecil’s one the most. The sheepskin vest with the nordic top and the skirt is cute. I also like the matching boots
I think I love…
Glad News, Swordfish and Gilfy…this says a lot about my style in general lol I like outfits that are casual and comfy but also sexy and on trend at the same time!
I love a nice cardi with some skinny jeans and hot shoes ♥
I love cecil mcbee look)))also heaven & earth for convinience & simplicity.re dark & swanky for casualness))surprisingly I don’t like wc look. looks somewhat stupid I don’t know. not my style))
but most of all I like laguna moon. just girlish & pretty)))I love it like that
fur trend getting too much, huh??omg
did you like the trends showed in ViVi?probably you don’t read it,but I always read it for upcoming new season trends, even if it’s not a gyaru mag))
I’d love checkered items, leather jackets & leopard items to stay in forever. I just love them. I’m a bit sick of cowboy stuff, hats & flowery pattern
I love the new fashion for autumn! :peer:
I like cecil mcbee the most out of all of them. So soft and pretty feminine.
Oops, forgot to delete the word “pretty.”
Loving the Jelly cover, such a cool look
I always welcome Leopard print, this trend shall never die if my hands have anything to do with it!!
Love the Gilfy cardigan and the Backs outfit, DO WANT
There are a lot of pieces I am liking actually!
Hehe…I did a review of EDGE-S a while back… http://findingtokyo.blogspot.com/2010/06/new-gyaru-magazine-edges.html (gotta self promote, wink!)
Personally, I am a huge SLY and Barak fan and have always been since I moved here. Those two lines always come out with some great stuff…so glad to finally see Barak getting some major love lately in the magazines (saw them more in last month issues as well). I`ve seen the SLY stuff in store already and I am sooo tempted to buy
I think Cecil McBee has some good stuff going on, I like the vest + skirt…reminds me of the aviator trend that is being pushed in major mags and high fashion wise so I am going to keep my eye on it!
Glad News was my favorite. Lip Service wasn’t bad, but it didn’t really look like anything different or new. By the way, do fall trends usually continue into the winter, or is it unpredictable until winter actually comes?
I want to get some magazines, but they’re kind of expensive. I was wondering what time of the year usually has the “best” issues. I was thinking September issues would be nice to see the trends and buy fall clothes, but I usually love winter styles. What do you think?
Also, thank you for all your hard work! You’re so helpful for those of us who cannot understand Japanese and who have never been to Japan. You always provide helpful and interesting information. I just wanted to let you know I appreciate you managing your blog as well as all the things in your life.
I love the new fall clothes!
I love the Backs and Egoist coords, but I really hate the Murua one….
I like the Lip Service one too, but it’s not very new or omething.
I’m liking Gilfy and Vence the most!
And we’re still seeing flats~~
I’m loving the Tibetan fur, Nordic, and leopard trends! (Not necessarily together, though…
)
My favourtie looks are actually Laguna Moon and Titty & Co. The cropped, chunky sweater paired with a skirt (loving the white lace skirt!) is super adorable. I’m also loving Cecil McBee’s Nordic knit tank with the lace skirt, though the vest is a little too rugged for me (I’m a super girly-girl, haha).
Gilfy and Glad News have done me proud again :peer:
I love the leopard print trend, of course. I can never get enough haha
I noticed chain print popping up in Lip Service too, and I think it’s something I could work into my wardrobe.
Still not a big fan of fur vests, but we’ll see when I try some out
I’m going Fall item shopping in 109 with a Japanese gal friend when I arrive. Now that will be a experience…after going with the boyf last time – who rushed me around
I still wish you were coming a bit earlier, but we’ll hit 109 up as soon as you get here haha
haha look at me talking as though I’m already in Tokyo. Well you knew what I meant
Not long now~
I liked the nordic prints, altrough it isnt long since norwegian knitted sweaters was popular here.
Should be asy enough to come over up in scandinavia thou :heartsmile:
I LOVE that Murua top. They have a very similar print on a scarf which I love, but just couldn’t justify spending 4,000yen+ on. But as a shirt? Much more bang for the buck
I’m not too impressed with much else though. Even some of my favorite brands are disappointing me so far. Oh well, this is only the beginning. :upani:
Hi, i know a swedish website where you can buy leopard wedges :3
Try this link: http://www.melba.se/index.php?page=shop.product_details&flypage=flypage_flash.tpl&product_id=2683&category_id=68&option=com_virtuemart&Itemid=128
I’m liking Emoda, Murua and Glad News the most out of the selection. But I am loving the leopard trend! Leopard = awesome!
I have noticed UK shops are FULL of Leopard prints.
dazzlin, EGOIST, Gilfy and Laguna Moon are my favourites! Really cute stuff and some good inspirations.
I think DURAS and Rienda look horrible. WC … well I hate tops like these but I’m sure they have lots of other pretty things.
I’m in loveee with the Gilfy/Sly mannish looks! I also like Laguna Moon. These are such good inspiration for fall.
I’m really liking all the Nordic trends so far, mainly :heart2:
Brand-wise my favorites are GILFY, EMODA, Vence, titty&Co and GLAD NEWS. GILFY especially because it’s something I could actually wear and stay warm in :note:
of course, now I don’t know what to do with all my Liz Lisa flower prints…! Hope they’re in next season haha… wish they would hurry up and show their A/W stuff too!!
I was just looking at this in my issue last night & I LOVE LOVE LOVE :hearts: SO freaking excited to see leopard still trending!
& for the record, leopard wedges are on my lust list too haha~ great minds :kumatan:
When I saw this at the bookstore a couple weeks ago I really thought “Mitsu is going to like this”
And I’ve been waiting to see it here since then! It was so exciting when I read that part about goodbye to sweet style, I was like “damn time!” haha 
I like the Gilfy and Backs looks the most, they are really cool and cute to me! Overall I like the Autumn look more then the spring look (summer was ok).
“Swanky – just goes Abercrombie” HA
Oh, took a second look at the Glad News outfit, it’s like they picked the most boring items from the autumn collection. There is some way cuter stuff in stores.
I love the Laguna Moon one! And w♥c never stops bursting with cuteness! :peer: I think least fav would be the rienda one… not likin’ it too much. Btw love your gal blog! Always cheers and inspires me. :bear:
All those leopard items are much much wanted
Oh dear… Where do I even start… LOVEEE leopard prints! I’m so glad it’s still trending for fall!
I’m loving the leopard print romper! My favourite look out of all of those has to be the one by Re Dark. The bursts of red from the bag & shoes are lovely addition to the rather silent colours of the outfit. Also loving the mannish look by Sly~
I too am having a lust for leopard print footwear. I want a pair of leopard printed oxford heels
Or any leopard heels will satisfy 
Oh my im loving every single style its kinda incredible! :D The only thing im not enjoying really is the WC elastic shirt. Everything else seems amazing
can’t wait for some fall shopping 
Swordfish and Gilfy my faves…tho I like cargo pants in black
Not fond of cowboy boots and the jel’emets solo t-shirt dress (looks like something I’d wear to bed) – but I love the tibetan fur.
The Sly hat I would call a porkpie..but I’d have to see the top to be sure.
omg ive been wanting a pair of jeffrey campbell wedges for a long long time.. the leopard one is another that i’d have to get for my impossible wishlist.. im so glad leopard is coming back, i was ready to sell some of my leopard things on ebay just for extra cash–but ill hold off on it for now.
im lovin the nordic print and oxfords for gilfy – something different.. not really fond of the rienda with the zebraprint dress – i like the corset belt though
my favorites have to be the sly, emoda & laguna moon
gosh i want everything! i need a job!
Both the Laguna Moon and Miel Crishunant looks seem like things I’d wear. But the W*C look is….
What is going on with that f’d up silhouette?
Yay, more Fall looks! I see a lot of things I’d like to drain my account for
The winners for me are
-Gilfy (I love that sweater; I saw it in the background of another post you made, and I still love it!)
-SLY (That outfit is just too cute/cool)
-Vence (It looks comfy, and I like to feel comfortable, but the shoes give it a nice spark of sophistication)
-Glad News (I love the jeans, and the pop of color with the hat is lovely)
-titty and co. (that outfit is interesting to me; would you say that it qualifies as “mori gal”. I get a real mori girl feeling from it because of the length and color of the skirt, but she shoes give it a real gal feeling :hearts: )
I didn’t really like
)
-Spiral girl (it’s a little too boring to me, and I love Spiral Girl, usually
-swanky (Yeah…haha)
-W♥C (I usually love her stuff, but that look’s a little too much for me. Those pieces worn in another way would be bettter, I think)
-Barak (looks like the Glad News outfit, lazy version)
