Fashion Weeks in Milan, Paris and New York Showcase Luxury and Drama for Fall. Both the lifestyle and the luxury business are in recovery. Bain Capital predicts the industry will grow roughly 5% this year to as much as \u20ac176 billion, or $245 billion.<\/strong> <\/p>\n

Certainly, these were the most dramatic, newsy fashion weeks in recent memory. John Galliano lost his job at Dior, and luxury conglomerate LVMH agreed to buy Bulgari\u2014even as it continued to press for a takeover of Herm\u00e8s, which announced that its earnings rose 46% last year. <\/p>\n

Even as the luxury industry is looking like one to watch in coming months, fashions for this fall are richer and dressier. British-gentry tweeds, luxe furs and leather all walked the runways in the past few weeks. There were other hints of what’s to come in fashion. We’ll be wearing longer skirts this fall\u2014knee-length or below\u2014and lots of pleats. Also, this is the season to bring out your black leather.<\/strong><\/p>\n
