Trend Report: Spring 2011

I know this is late, but better late then never I suppose--

Alright, so think romantic/70s! Or the rocker-chick thing is always in if you're into that...

1. Nudes, cut-outs & sheers. Yeah...start working out.

 

Valentino, Rodarte, YSL (see the show)

This is a bit unrelated, but I just had to show you the Rodarte runway shoes...pretty much amazing.

2. Longer hemlines (anything below the knee). You have my permission to wear your 90s grunge get-up.

Cynthia Rowley

Dolce & Gabbana (The Alberta Feretti line looks a lot like this too..)

3. Faded & shaded watercolors. Gorgeousness.

Dries Van Noten, Jason Wu

Nina Ricci, Zac Posen

4. Pleats, pleats, pleats!

Lanvin

Marchesa (PS this is love)

5. Think YSL circa 1970: peasant tops, bold/bright colors and jumpsuits. My favorite. Please reference the Marc Jacobs show.

  

Anna Sui, Sonia Rykiel, John Galliano 

 Diane Von Furstenberg

6. Shirts--

  

Alexander Wang, Jil Sander (see the show)

Prada

7. Snakeskin..still

Burberry Prorsum 

Roberto Cavalli

8. Punk-rock/goth glam. When in doubt, wear black and leather.

Balmain

Bottega Veneta, Yohji Yamamoto

NY Times Style has most of the collections, so to see more click here :)

Honestly, though...don't worry about trends. If something looks good wear it and if it doesn't then don't. That's it.
