I actually quite like Fall 2005. I think it's fairly forgiving to the regular person and somehow, the collections seems more 'real' to me. Perhaps it's also because I am a big fan of masculine aspects in feminine wardrobe so this season is great simply for that. But i also think that after this summer of exhausting color, it's almost a relief to fall back onto blacks and deeper, cooler colors.
Good investments
Lines I adore for Fall 2005:
Alessandro Dell'Aqua (a little edgier and not as mainstream)
This is a great outfit. It's chic and in but still somehow edgy without sacrificing prettiness. Very feminine, slightly boho but restrained and complete with fabulous shoes. 
This is very Fall 2005. Elegant, subdued but with details in the fabric make it a layered creation. The shoes anchor the outfit from floating off.
Lanvin (Sumptuous)
The lushness of the black velvet contrasted with the filmy black tulle is amazing.
An unusual style reminiscent of Audrey Hepburn.
Rochas
Some of the pieces in this Fall collection are just very corseted, very high necked Edwardian style, too much so for my tastes but this is looser, modern dress that I am very taken with.
*sigh* Completely unforgiving but so beautiful. The colors work so well together and details are so delicate. I can see the top with high-waisted trousers as well, or the skirt with another less fussy top so the skirt can really shine through.
Viktor & Rolf
Eccentric and quirky, this is a stunning, more subdued outfit from the wild collection. Their small menswear collection is to die for as well.
This is just a beautiful piece of work.
Roland Mouret (very old Hollywood glamour)
This is very Fall 2005. The hourglass figure is in again! The puff sleeves, the fitted dress and deeper more subdued colors.
I am in love with this outfit. It is absolutely perfect. Impossibly cool and chic. It's not that I don't love the hourglass dresses but that has always struck me a bit as throwing women back into the corset or foot binding days.
Stella McCartney
I've always liked her collections, very commercial and lots of mass appeal but always well cut and touchs of masculine to temper the ultra feminine. This suit is masculine but when you put it on, it only serves to emphasize your femininity.
This is a perfect casual winter outfit.
Balenciaga (more high-concept but still wearable)
If ever there was a perfect military coat...this is it. This is a perfect collection piece. But I like it better in the white, I think. But I like all that fur on the arms.
I've always liked Balenciaga's bigger pieces, especially their coats. The proportions, the design, it's always brilliant. This one is a beautiful wearable piece that would definitely qualify to be in my dream wardrobe.
Hermes (subtly super luxurious)
This is gorgeous. I love Hermes usually for their trousers and feminine menswear but this was just sublime.
I just absolutely adore wearing mens things. Il Bisonte leather briefcase, L'Artisan Mechant Loup (thanks to Dain), mens watch...but this is a lovely suit. And I have to say, that hat is growing on me.
This is a perfect trench. Sumptuous satin details make it special and something to wear for years.
This is also a beautiful suit and coat. Absolutely sublime.
Chloe
The epitome of Boho chic. Layering, dissonant styles, all worn with a savoir fair attitude and messy chic hair.
