Fashion Week *Trends*



The New York Fashion Week has now come to a close, and now is the time for all the reviews. All that matters at the end of the show, is the fashion trends of course! While watching some of the fashion shows on Style.com, I came across a few that really caught my eye!

I loved Calvin Klein's collection the best by far! The clothing actually looked 3D! I was amazed that fabric could actually hold together in such a way that it popped out, literally! I loved the geometric shapes that were used. The clothes were wearable if you were a tweleve year old girl that has not reached puberty..i.e..no curves, but the idea was fresh and new.


Marc Jacob's designs are always pleasent to see and his shows are always so modern! I love his use of bright colors and classic neck lines. Marc Jacob's is always a designer to look to for classic ideas and wearable attire.


Through the whole week I noticed a few trends for this coming spring/summer months. First: See-Through Sheer Fabrics. I saw alot of nude colors which gave the models an almost "naked" appearence.

Second: One Shoulder pieces like dresses, swimsuits, and tops. I believe this will be a key selling point for retail this coming season!

Third: Boyfriend style trousers: The menswear inspired trouser will be the in-trend this spring/summer. This trend will be popular especially will the cuff of the pant rolled up.

Colours for 2009: I am excited about the color palette for 2009! Earthy tones such as yellow and brown (lots of BROWN!) reds, oranges, and taupes will be the "it" color to buy!

I think this year will be more environmentally friendly especially with organic cotton. I believe the awareness of protecting the environment has hit home with some of the top designers.


This spring/summer of 2009 RTW fashion week, was inspired by global and world affairs and the fashion reflected this.
