Top 5 Spring 2012 Fashion Week Trends

by Marina Monroe

Fashion Week carries on across the pond and continues to impress with exciting runway shows being held in Milan, Paris and London. I have taken notice to the few big trends for Spring 2012, and can’t wait to take all the fun fashion to the streets! Here are 5 of the most popular emerging trends I love and will definitely be carrying at stylehaüs!

Dazzling Menswear

Making Menswear feminine and fresh can be tricky, but these looks are glammed up to the max; utilizing metallics, bold colors, and fitted silhouettes allow this style to be sexy but with an edge.

Balmain Spring/Summer 2012 Ready to Wear, Paris

Paul Smith Spring/Summer 2012 Ready to Wear, London

Emporio Armani Spring/Summer 2012 Ready to Wear, Milan

Flapper Frocks

The runways have been taken over by flapper sheaths that are perfectly elegant and sexy for a night out on the town. I love the intricate beading and embroidery, and styled with subdued hair and makeup make for a fresh and sleek look.

Etro Spring/Summer 2012 Ready to Wear, Milan

Gucci Spring/Summer 2012 Ready to Wear, Milan

Jean-Pierre Braganza Spring/Summer 2012 Ready to Wear, London

Pastel Palettes

Many designers have turned to pastels as the go-to Spring look. From pale yellows to minty greens, this color palette can flatter every complection and is a perfect color pop to add to your closet.

Marni Spring/Summer 2012 Ready to Wear, Milan

Nicole Farhi Spring/Summer 2012 Ready to Wear, London

Floral Frenzy

Another huge Spring look for is floral prints. Various shows displayed this trend, whether it was head-to-toe floral or just one accent piece to finish the outfit, I love the über-girly vibe to this style.

Blumarine Spring/Summer 2012 Ready to Wear, Milan

Erdem Spring/Summer 2012 Ready to Wear, London

Vionnet Spring/Summer 2012

All White

White is back as the new sexy color of next season! Many shows displayed all-white looks that create a goddess like effect. Mixing this clean look with a bold red or pink lipstick is a great way to look chic and current.

Versace Srpring/Summer 2012, Milan

Barbara Bui Spring/Summer 2012, Paris

Antonio Berardi Spring/Summer 2012, London
