Trend Report:

Spring 2011

Although we haven't even had

our first real snow storm yet, nothing

is going to stop me from talking about the

spring 2011 fashion trends. After viewing many

collections at NY Fashion week with my team,

we were able to see the trends that are going

to explode in the stores and on the streets.

Here is whats "in" for Spring/Summer 2011.

The 70's is Back

Yes, I said it. One of the largest

trends this spring/summer is sophisticated

70's fashion. The floppy hats, high-waisted

pants, flowy bowed blouses and ruffled necklines.

The Maxi Dress

Although this isn't a new trend,

whats new about it is the fabric that they

will be made with. No longer will cotton just be

used, but sheer fabrics and lace as well.

Bold Prints and Colors

When I think of spring colors, mint green,

pale pinks, yellows and blues automatically

pop into my head. Although those can be found

inevitably in any spring collection, you will defintly

spot brighter colors on the racks for the season

to come. Neon colors, bright pinks and oranges

are huge for spring/summer 2011.

Time to put those Ray Bans back on.

Flowy Frocks

As soon as the models began to

walk down the catwalk at the

BCBG MaxAzria Spring/Summer 2011

show, you could just smell the spring in

the air. Everything from the beautiful taupes,

pinks, nudes and whites, the flowy chiffon

captivated the feeling of spring. This is a must

have for your spring wardrobe.

The Pajama Look

 This trend is defintly for those

who love a classic, effortless and

relaxed chicness. Silk pants, chiffon tops,

flowy blouses and lots of lace.

Minimal White

Classic. Simple. White.

Must I say more?
