Blog for my Blog

So going off our last assignments we have been asked to writte a blog about spring/summer trends. So here you have it people trends to come!
Summer 2010

 This summer shows some of the hottest trends from last year with some girly new twists.
Lingerie has taken on a whole new role this season. It’s leaving the bedroom and coming out. Loungerie, as its been termed can be seen on the runways of shows such as Christian Dior, Reyes, Max Azria, and Blumarine as well as actresses. It is spreading its influence from boustier tops of 2010 to the crops tops and sheer dresses.



Lace has also come back this year and can be seen on the runway and in tv shows. It has been uses to accent everyday tops and can be seen in swimsuits.




This season we can look for an explosions of prints, flower power, polka dots. The Sixties are back and it’s a blast of colors. Everything summer always looks better with a lot of fun colors and designers are embracing the diversity. Flower prints from last year as well as much louder prints are hitting the summer racks and can be seen emerging on the streets.





Designers are making a huge revival of the Fashion decade. Look for wide legged pants, tap shorts and bloomers, pant suit, tweed, maxi-dresses, ruffles. These looks going off of the 2010 rompers are flaring up. last years romper is coming back strong and you can expect to see those stylish high waist shorts again this year.





In shoes and accessories we see a lot of the trends from last year with a daintier more refines twist. Jewelry is more dainty and lightweight to match the lighter material. Shoes are a variation on last year with high heel and even some lace mixed in.





This summer style is fresh, modern, and exciting, very much what we need now.
