NYFW Trends: Hello Sunshine

While red is fall's power color, get ready to start investing in some yellow-colored garments for spring.  Yellow in all sorts of shades made a huge statement on the runways this season making appearances in fashion shows from the likes of Oscar de la Renta, Proenza Schouler, Carolina Herrera and Jason Wu.  I am foreseeing yellow working its way into the prom dress circuit and along with the pastel trend, high school seniors could look like an array of sweet-colored candies come May.  Anyway, back to the runway, in the words of Rachel Zoe, yellow totally "had a moment" this season, so what do you think?  Will you be embracing the new it color or letting it pass by?

The Art of Mixing Prints from Mary Katrantzou and Michael van der Ham

At London Fashion Week, a huge trend was combining and meshing patterns, and two designers I think did an amazing job were Mary Katrantzou and Michael van der Ham.  Both created dresses that are bold and vibrant, and while I think mixing prints can be risky and result in an overwhelming and sometimes tacky look, these two designers managed to create chic and edgy outfits that are eye-catching, elaborate and unique.

Spring Trends

So, all this beautiful sunshine and FINALLY a little heat has inspired me to think about the days of shorts, skirts and tank tops that are just around the corner.

I am currently skimming the Spring Fashion 2010 Guide on nymag.com, and while the clothing is all fine and dandy for women with extra cash, I am going to find some substitutes from Urban Outfitters, Free People, and American Apparel.
Here we go....
