Change is in the air as designers find decidedly different points of view for the Fall '10 season. Throughout Los Angeles Fashion Week and Los Angeles Fashion Market, designers presented their collections to press, buyers and die-hard fashionistas.

From runway shows to photo installations and parties that showcased the designers along with their muses, a range of new styles emerged for the season. Vintage and feminine-inspired looks were prominent, adding a touch of nostalgia and romance. There was plenty of panache, too, with vintage-inspired costume jewelry, gold and silver hues, and luxe

furs to accent the look. In contrast, some designers chose to keep the tone somber and sleek with dark post-apocalyptic themes, a black monotone palette and military regalia. Here is a look at key trends of the season.
