Summer may not be over quite yet, but it's time to start thinking about your autumn attire. We're going Fashion Forward with some of the top trends for fall.

(WSVN) -- There are plenty of looks to go around this fall when it comes to fashion.

Feminine, chiffon dresses lined the runways of Paris at John Galliano for Christian Dior.

From flirty to femme fatale... This season, you can look for an assortment of fabrics, including rubber.

"It makes you look great, and, at the same time, you sweat and look great," says John Galliano.

It's an urban jungle at Michael Kors for Celine.

From a zebra bustier dress.

To this bold, giraffe-spotted mini.

Animal prints along with black and white are the colors of the season.

"Black and white for everyone," proclaims Michael Kors, "but I think the bad girl, maybe, wears it with a lot of silver, and the good girl mixes in a little pink and powdered blue."

Valentino takes us on a trip back in time -- to the era of glamour and beauty.

Satin evening gowns in the designer's signature red are both classic and fun this season.

Look for lots of beaded embroidery on cocktail dresses too.

"This kind of collection," says Valentino. "The collection being sexy because the things are so much attached to the body, the little clothes, the little coat, the little suit."

Suits are oh so tiny this season at Chanel.

Designer Karl Lagerfeld sweating the details with oversized chains, lots of zippers and high boots.

Again, anything black, white and bold will make a statement... Plus, think lots of funky leg action.

"You can wear high boots, you can wear leggings, there are a million ways to wear it," says Karl Lagerfeld for Chanel. "It's only a question of silhouette."

But, whatever you wear, have fun with it.
