Another
Fashion Week is in full force, but alas, I am stuck in the Midwest getting my runway fix thanks to
IFB,
The Cut, and
Style.com. I'm really not in the mood to look at spring clothes since I am just now embracing the idea of fall and the need to layer off and on throughout the day, but who am I to argue with the timing of the fashion gods?
This week's
IFB Project asks bloggers to discuss some of their favorite spring trends. While some of my favorite designers have not shown their collections yet, I decided to go ahead and post some thoughts. Since it is spring, the
de rigueur bright colors and floral explosions are on display (see
Tracy Reese and
Prabal Gurung). However, my favorite trend so far is the use of white, off-white, and beige that is popping up in many collections. Whether it is
Erin Fetherston's interpretation of Mia Farrow's playful shift dresses or
Jenni Kayne's take on urban athleticism, white and its sister hues will be a major trend next spring.
Old Hollywood Reigns
Zac Posen's collection embraced curves befitting an Old Hollywood screen legend. Amidst the jewel tones were a smattering of beige dresses that could turn any woman into a pearl.
East Meets West
The collection from The Row was partly inspired by
Tibet. The serene color palette and attention to detail make this another stand out collection by the Olsens.
Life as a Fairy Tale
When I read
this post from Fashion Editor at Large about the real wedding of Lydia Hearst that doubled as a runway show for Imitation of Christ, I was amazed. With gorgeous, Depression-era inspired dresses, the relaunch of Imitation of Christ was a stunning display of art meeting life.
What are some of your favorite spring trends?
Any favorite collections so far?
