Nine trend boards, one season, and a designer’s blunt advice on what’s actually worth wearing.

Justine Leconte does this twice a year, like clockwork — a Spring/Summer breakdown in the winter, a Fall/Winter breakdown at the end of summer. Her September 2019 release, “FASHION TRENDS FALL-WINTER 2019-2020 & how to wear them,” runs 18 minutes and works through nine trend boards pulled from the international runway shows. It’s not a haul video and it’s not a listicle — it’s a working designer explaining what’s actually moving through the collections and how much of it belongs in a normal closet.

• Leconte structures the video around nine distinct trend boards covering the Fall/Winter 2019–2020 runway season.
• The dominant thread is retro revival — 1970s and 1980s silhouettes, including wide-leg trousers and built-up, tailored shoulders.
• Leather and animal print both return as major materials/prints for the season, alongside her recurring advice to adapt trends to individual body shapes rather than buy disposable pieces.

The Retro Runway Reset

The biggest signal Leconte pulls from the Fall/Winter 2019–2020 shows is a hard swing back toward the 1970s and 1980s. Wide-leg trousers dominate the boards — a direct break from the skinny-leg decade that preceded it — paired with tailored, statement shoulders that echo 80s power dressing. Leconte walks through how the two eras get blended on the runway rather than replicated wholesale, with high-waisted cuts doing the elongating work that used to belong to skinny denim.

She’s careful to separate the runway version from the wearable version. A padded shoulder or a voluminous sleeve reads as costume on some frames and as tailoring on others, and her advice throughout the video is to scale the silhouette to the body rather than copy it off the mannequin.

Leather and Animal Print as Season Staples

Two materials carry a lot of the season’s visual weight: leather and animal print. Leconte treats both as recurring, near-permanent runway fixtures rather than one-off gimmicks, but she draws a clear line on execution — leopard, zebra or snake works as a single statement piece against a neutral base, not as a head-to-toe pattern clash. It’s the same discipline she applies to the shoulder-heavy tailoring: one loud element per outfit, the rest kept quiet enough to let it register.

Nine trend boards, one rule running underneath all of them: buy the trend that fits your shape, not the one that fit the runway model.

Styling Over Shopping

What separates Leconte’s breakdown from a typical trend roundup is the refusal to treat any of the nine boards as a shopping list. Her running point across the video is that viewers should mine their existing wardrobes for pieces that already gesture toward wide-leg trousers, tailored shoulders or leather texture, rather than replacing a closet every six months to chase a runway board. That argument lines up with the broader conversation happening in the same fashion-YouTube space about where clothes actually end up once a trend passes — the kind of afterlife covered in pieces like how recycling machines make new clothes from used apparel.

Leconte’s channel has built its audience on exactly this pairing — designer-level trend literacy delivered with a practical, buy-less filter. Viewers who want the throughline from decade to decade can see how directly this Fall/Winter 2019–2020 breakdown echoes into her later videos, including the retrospective on 70’s fashion trends we’re still wearing in 2021.

Reading the Boards for Your Own Closet

The real utility of the video is in how Leconte re-sorts each board by body shape and personal style rather than by trend name alone. Wide-leg trousers get flagged as flattering on certain proportions and risky on others; statement shoulders get the same treatment. It’s a framework she’s used before and would use again in videos like wearable fashion trends 2021 for women over 40, where the same instinct — take the runway idea, filter it through what actually suits the person wearing it — carries over almost unchanged.

Nine boards, one video, and Leconte’s usual bet: viewers will get more mileage out of one well-chosen leather piece or a single wide-leg trouser than out of chasing all nine trends at once before the season’s even over.
