A Spring Swirl


A heavy dose of petals, leaves, stems and all kinds of flowers were seen in collections of various designers in their Spring 2008 Ready-To-Wear collections! ‘Floral’ never looked so good before!

Some were seen on very structured outfits, some on not as much, sometimes the colors were a vibrant multi-color explosion of palette and then sometimes there was the dulled monochromatic play but still just as vibrant!

I have never been one for anything floral but how do you say no to Oscar De La Renta or Carolina Herrera? Have you seen those outfits?

Of course, not all that I saw was good (that Valentino outfit!!), but for now, lets only dwell on the fashionably divine.

A Costly Trend To Follow


Ok, so its been established that ‘leggings’ are all the rage and everyone is scampering to get the look! All major design houses have the look down, so have the young celebrities.. But, before you reach for your wallet to sport the look du jour, take a look at this one…

These futuristic looking, C-3PO golden leggings from Balenciaga come with a tag of $159,000.

Whew!

Heavy Metal!


Bipasha wore it at Femina’s special issue release. Fergie flaunted it on Grammys Red Carpet. What you ask? Its metallic baby! A look thats not for everyone, (remember Tanya Abrol? Scary!) but if you can carry it off, its a fabulos way to make a statement!

The IT Fabric: Ikat


The absolute new IT fabric is Ikat, influences of which I saw on Fall 2007 collections, specifically like in those of Armani and Balenciaga, pictures of which you can see below!

The Ikat fabric trend or Ikat-like print trend is going to go strong well into next year and you just have to look at the collections of Bruce Spring and Jenny Kayne for Spring 2008 Ready To Wear, to see what I mean…
