We know you’re procrastinating as much as possible these days – who isn’t? I’ll enable your procrastinating further: it’s time to start those epic holiday wish lists. Put that Chemistry book aside… here are the Spring 2013 trends you should know about before you start book marking or adding to your Pinterest board. Study up!
Lady-like Frills
The frills were in New York, Paris and Milan Fashion Week shows. They offer a more minimalistic, modern and elegant approach to the fussy ruffles.
(Gareth Pugh, Givency, Peter Pilotto, Chloe)
Graphic Florals
Nothing says Spring like floral prints. This new graphic twist makes flowers more fun and sophisticated.
(Lela Rose, Suno, Richard Chai Love)
Whites
Remember when black was the huge new color hue to take over the runways? Well, this season whites were all over the catwalk. Get your Tide-to-gos ready!
(Vera Wang, Yigal Azrouel, Rag and Bone, Emilio Pucci)
Stripes
This little trend isn’t just for prisoners and Waldo. Worn and adorned right, stripes can create a chic little number.
(Philosophy di Alberta Ferretti, Michael Kors, Marc Jacobs)
Skirts for the Power Women (Long Shorts)
Save those short shorts for the sizzling hot summer days. Deceive the eye with these convenient long shorts.
(Peter Som, Alexander Wang, Creatures of the Wind, DKNY)
Asian Persuasion
The Asian invasion continues – in full force it seems! From music charts with the addictive Gangnam Style to the runways – Asian influence is inspiring everyone.
(Emilio Pucci, Etro, Prada)
Show Some Skin
This season is a bit risky with its M-Slits (Angelina Jolie anyone?), crop/bra tops, lace, and sheer outfits.
(Charlotte Ronson, Roberto Cavalli, BCBG, Loewe, Giambattista Valli)
