Trends for Fall/Winter 2011

NEW YORK FASHION WEEK BABYYYY!

New York Fashion Week opened 3 days ago. But before designers showcase their S/S 2012 collections, we take a peek at what other trends we have left to try out for the remainder of the year.

1. Swingin' 60's

Versace

Bottega Veneta

Alberta Feretti

 Designers looked to the 60's Mod style with collections featuring Peter Pan collars, double breasted coats and shift dresses. The 60's influenced style also include psychedelic prints.

2. RED!

Michael Kors

Lanvin

Jonathan Saunders

"When in doubt, wear red"

--Bill Blass

Celeb rocking the trend: Sarah Jessica Parker

3. Polka Dots

Gucci

Lanvin

Dolce and Gabbana

Every now and then, you see them--just like florals or Breton stripes. Preppy polka dots add to the already retro feel of this season.

Celeb rocking the trend: Emma Watson

4. Longer Hemlines

Derek Lam

Chloe

Erdem

Midi and maxi skirts make an appearance on the runway. Yes, being sexy does not translate to a shorter length, but it's also in the way you wear your clothes. Midi and maxi skirts take us back to the days of feminine sensuality.

Marni

Celeb rocking this trend: Rihanna in a printed dress

Soon, I'll be posting my take on these trends, as styled on Looklet. :-)
