RUNWAY REPORT SPRING 2012
Spring allows us to view fashions in a fresh way.
It’s a season of renewal.
COLOR STORY
For spring 2012, color takes center stage. On the American runway, hot
colors for spring 2012 are orange, lime/bright green, hot pink/fuchsia,
mint green and bright yellow. Light purple and soft blue are in fashion
as well. A popular trend for the upcoming seasons is mixing colors. You
have dessert shades such as turquoise, coral and sand. If you prefer neutrals,
Safari hues like tan and olive are fashionable color combinations as well.
We also have our classic black and white. But this season, pop it with
a little color. Also on trend is color blocking. BCBG’s spring 2012
collection presents a sophisticated way to wear colors; soft color blocks
on neutral backgrounds. Most designers showcased no more than two prominent
colors in their designs. One of my favorites color combos is sky blue
and lavender.

Romantic Looks
Spring 2012 is all about feminine looks; pretty pieces that are easy
to wear. There are flowing chiffon dresses, flocks with sheer inlays
or overlays, ruffles and floral prints. While longer hemlines are gaining
in popularity. Short dresses aren’t going without a fight. For
spring, round one goes to above the knee frocks.
Lady Like
A trend that is moving forward is sporting coordinated looks that aren’t
so coordinated. Tracy Reese for fall 2012 pairs a white on black checker
jacket with a olive and light blue short floral dress. It worked.
Global Fashions Revisited
Lamb, Candela and Pamela Love are among the designers who showcased
global designs. Lamb featured creations with ikat prints, Candela showcased
a tropical vintage vibe inspired by her Uruguayan ranching roots and
Pamel Love‘s exotic waterfall necklaces, bold bracelets and rings
are off the chain.
