NEW YORK FASHION WEEK HIGHLIGHTS. SS12.

Jason Wu. 


Jason Wu's SS12 collection wowed many with his print dominated show. The designer collaborated with graffiti artist, KAWS for the petal prints seen on most of the collection(T-SHIRTS, Skirts, dresses and shorts). 

Jason's take on the traditional with a twist was seen in his modern 50s touch of bright colours, sheer shirt-dresses and skirts with trains. Not forgetting the floor length ball-gowns. 

I WANT one of those petal-print sheer shirts. Love it!! 

SPRING SUMMER TREND. STRIPES.

For Spring/Summer designers have included huge amounts of colour, pattern and texture in their collections. Particularly bright colours and stripes! A nice transition from the neutrals and duller colours of this current season (Spring/Summer '10 wasn't even really big on brights) - however bright is definitely baaack! Designers such as Prada, Marc by Marc Jacobs, Jil Sander and Junya Watanabe take an artistic, digital approach to their collections this season, taking clear inspiration from op-artist Bridget Riley.

SPRING SUMMER TREND. MAXI SKIRT.

It's quite early to start thinking about Spring/Summer clothing (afterall its been a dreary, rainy week in London), However I always LOVE the transition from one season to the other! On the lead up to Autumn/Winter I couldnt wait to wear my furs! But spring is approaching and I'm looking forward to wearing Spring-time floaty, light numbers. Which brings me to the Maxi-skirt! As seen at fashion weeks for SS 11 by designers Jil Sander, Lanvin, Chloe, Marc Jacobs and Alexander Wang to name a few, it's is set to be the hottest trend for next season. It made an appearance last season, but this time will be bigger. Cant wait! I love a good ol' maxi!
