Tuesday Trends: Nature Gal

Wildlife, florals and natural elements (like wooden or feathered adornments) are expected to stay strong through Fall 2008. Runway collections from ADAM, Gary Graham and Nina Ricci featured fall foliage and autumnal auburns [style]. Is this a natural response to the renewed environmental consciousness or just fashion's nod to nature?
