#Spring 2012 fashion runway full

No need to do a million crunches for this one.

This look is not for the timid, but if you’re feeling adventurous try pairing a top in this print with simple pieces or a graphic floral dress with nude pumps and understated jewelry. Graphic florals are digital manipulations of traditional floral patterns and are much more complex and bright. However, this year this popular spring print is being given a new look from fashion designers. Of course florals couldn’t be left out of this season.

If you’re not quite ready to don a full on dress in this risque material try wearing a loose white blouse with a pencil skirt or a pair of skinny jeans. White is a prime color this spring, but not just any white! White in transparent and light fabrics will be common in the springtime. Try wearing simple basics with fancier pieces to pull this look off. The juxtaposition of heels and tracksuits give athletic wear a couture touch. This interesting combination of feminine and urban isn’t your usual gym-wear. Think casual yet dressy to avoid looking like you’re ready for bedtime. Tailored pant suits in a silky material are both comfortable and chic. If you’re afraid that lines won’t flatter your figure, try wearing a small print with colors in the same family.Īlthough it would be great to be able to roll out of bed and be ready to go, this trend is not for the lazy. Linear lines and maze-inspired designs will be on everything from shirts to dresses. Who said abstract art was just for your walls? Geometric shapes will be making a comeback this spring. Also, the toned down version of these colors, such as mint, peach and sky blue, will be just as trendy.

If you’re hesitant about wearing neon, try wearing only pops of these bright shades in your accessories. These hues are typically paired up with “color blocking” - a technique that involves sewing together solid-colored blocks of fabric. The following is a list of the top spring 2012 fashion trends.īright colors such as lime green, tangerine and turquoise will be popular this spring. The solution? Make sure they fit with your own personal style. This season's pants were as billowy and fluid as last season's were linear.Runway fashion trends can sometimes be daunting and difficult to pull off. And Philo didn't save her proportion play for the upper half. That might draw the wrong kind of attention, but the slightly A-line leather tees and the collared cotton shirts with the graceful pleats down the back are a different story. Sometimes she used wide belts to create the effect other times the flaring piece of fabric was only partially attached to a pair of trousers at the hips. Chalk that up to the luxuriously spartan sensibility of the collection: no prints, no appliqués, few unnecessary extras save for the leather envelope bags and platform ankle-strap pumps that women will find very necessary indeed next spring (so much for the theory that platforms are over).īasque was the designer's word for the peplums that were the show's focal point. You can also put her on the short list of those who made the era look modern and new. You can count Philo among the growing number of designers who looked to fifties and sixties couture silhouettes for inspiration-as evidenced by the full, rounded sleeves of the army jackets, the Watteau backs of her blouses, the peplums circling the hips. 'We accentuated the bits that felt strong to accentuate, tried to create some new proportions.' 'It's just very sculptural, very three-dimensional,' she said afterward. But for Spring, Philo is thinking about shape. Since her debut at Celine two years ago, Phoebe Philo's legions of fans have gotten used to all things sleek and streamlined-be it the unadorned leather Classic box bag that launched so many imitators or the racing-stripe pants from Fall's car-inspired collection.
