Your 2010 Fashion Forecast From The Man Behind Gossip Girl

Filed Under: Fashion Smashion Gossip Girl

Saving up that holiday ca$$$h for your closet? Then you'll want to read this before hitting those sale racks.

Gossip Girl's costume designer Eric Daman is spilling the deets on what the future Serena van der Woodsens and Blair Waldorfs need to stock their closets with for 2010.

Here's what Eric has to say:

1. STATEMENT BRACELETS: "It's all about mixing materials. Enamel pieces are also going to be big."

2. EXPOSED ZIPPERS: Daman says he'll add a zipper to a piece if the fit isn't right. "Only if it's something minimal so I don't toy with the design."

3. PAINTED PRINTS: "It's almost Monet-like. A real concept."

4. TEXTURED TIGHTS: "Men love them. They're really sexy and a nice take on a contemporary fishnet. For the winter, put a nude tight underneath to keep you warm."

5. GRAY: "The new interpretation of gray is that it's the new black, a neutral. It's a no-brainer."

6. STRUCTURED: "This is very minimalist and linear. It has a Bauhaus architecture sense to it. Its lines could be those of the Chrysler Building, or the downtown Washington Square arch with the structure of the Upper East Side."

Inneresting predictions.

Will U be participating in any of these emerging fashion trends in the new year???
