Christopher Raeburn’s new collection contains many military influences of parachutes for S/S2010. I’m predicting a huge parachute trend for Spring 2010.

I love this trend. I’ve got tons of old watches that either don’t work, or I don’t wear because I believe in resorting to my cell phone to tell time. Photo from L’Officiel Netherlands. Get a similar product from La Mer at OAK

Have no idea how you get this done and I feel that the procedure might cause you to lose all your hair, but this is by far the coolest look I’ve ever seen. Period.

Black and white has made a surprise appearance during the spring/summer 2010 shows this Fashion Week in Paris. Among shades of beige and color, the black & white combo has been seen head to toe— well, head to knee in the case of Vanessa Bruno, whose collection showcased a number of stretch lace knee-pads.

White isn’t a stranger to the warmer months, but most people tend to stray from dark colors like black when the sun is out. Will you be wearing this black and white pairing come next season?

The hair at Proenza Schouler was definitely in my top 5 favorites for it’s 90’s throwback and originality on the runway. This Manic Panic-esque style has been popping up in other places to, most notably in the October issue of Vogue Italia. Start planning those hair-dying parties!

Queen Michelle at Kingdom of Style showed us how she layers sheer…the result? A dreamy layered cake perfect for any occasion. I’m dying over those Christopher Kane For Topshop Leggings!

A strange trend indeed…

Ok ladies, I’m taking the initiative and telling you that it’s about time you throw those muscular, beefy studs of yours to the wayside. Forget about the safety you feel in their arms, it’s all about being able to wrap yours around him three times. Baby faces, structured jaws, quirky smirks and skinny jeans are a must. Oh, and if you can’t see a ribcage, don’t even bother.

Okay, so now that I’ve basically made my Craigslist post for my ideal boyfriend, the real reason I posted this photo via Jak & Jil Blog is because I love candid model shots…it just so happens that I’d date any and all of these guys…perhaps at the same time.

God, I’m a creep.

You have to look closely at these items to assure yourself that they are as they appear. The first time that I saw the Comme Des Garcons shoes I had to do a double take….they are quite interesting. I do However, remember that this same trend was popular among some designers a few years ago.

I love the grunge look and all, but this grease-ball trend, as seen in Jonathan Saunders’ Spring 2010 runway show, is a little overkill. I have long, thin hair and it usually gets greasy after about 4 hours of being out and about. I’m not sure about you, but when the grease appears, I get a little self conscious and have to pull my mess of hair into a ponytail. I understand the effect Saunders is going for, the whole “I’m a cute, innocent little gem but I’ve got a few bad habits” look, but I don’t see the appeal of looking like you cooked bacon on your head. If anything, this Trendspark should end up on your list of “Don’ts” and remind you to wash your hair…stat.

I’m loving these heavy metal necklaces seen in Lanvin’s F/W ‘09 show..think they’ll be big this fall?

Plan B has come out with their own recycled jewelry, in the same heavy metal form.  I love how chunky it is, this just screams DIY.

Not sure if this is worth a TrendSpark but you never know if this sort of thing will become something…kinda like the monogram, def a conversation started.

The Spring/Summer 10 shows have been full of slicked back hair. You know what that means: hair stylists have been through an unimaginable amount of gel and are sporting some very sticky hands upon their exit of the tents. Will you be joining the force of sticky fingered fashion folk this spring?

One of the biggest items in jewelry right now is the chunky necklace. It’s a statement piece that can transform even the most basic outfit. You can find it in every style—from bohemian-inspired to a classic vintage look. It’s been a favorite amongst stars this year, even making appearances around celebrity necks on the red carpet.

Here are some select necklaces out of the variety available to choose from:

1. Forever 21- $10.80, www.Forever21.com
2. Circa 78- $38.00, www.UrbanOutfitters.com
3. J. Crew- $128.00, www.JCrew.com

I’m not quite sure who’s idea it was to put glitter all over Tyson Ritter of the All-American Rejects and have him perform shirtless, but I have to say, it translated really well on stage. Ritter never struck me as the type to wear glitter, but he did a good job flashing his beanpole body around during their performance last night.  Think this could be the new look for rockstars?

Alex Vidal sent models down the runway of Valencia Fashion Week in an amazing look that included straight locks with crimp ends. Becks is investing in a crimper as we speak.

Definitely one of my favorite hair looks on the runway, this is a simple look that ads body and international intregue to your look. Proceed with causion on this one though and make sure to crimp with care.

As dictated by Raf Simons in Thomas Lohr’s spread for GQ Style Germany #16 Fall 2009, color-blocking isn’t just for the ladies! I didn’t think color-blocking would be flattering, let alone masculine, on the guys, but by the looks of these incredible Simons pieces, I’m liking the looks of it! Keep your eyes peeled for the color-blocked suits, because I can see these bad boys hitting mass market sooner rather than later!

I’ve always hated “rules” in the fashion world. In a world of fantasy, extravagance and fun, who needs rules? Thankfully, this winter my least favorite rule is being thrown out the window. Refinery 29’s Pipeline has a top 10 list of the best winter white items, and  I want ever single one. From the furry vests, to the Dr. Martins, to the metal watches it’s all on my wish list! Something about a stark white against the dark, dull colors of winter is so appealing. The best thing about this trend? Everyone has a little white in their wardrobe, so all you have to do is shop your closet!

It wasn’t until I was saw Mikael Jansson’s spread for Vogue Paris September 2009 that I realized what my favorite fall trend is: timeless androgyny. Inspired by Diane Keaton’s role as Annie Hall, Jansson’s spread features model Anna Jagodzinska dressed in an array of androgynous 70’s menswear. While the androgyny trend is a few seasons running, I love the simple, professional and somewhat preppy feel of this trendy throwback. But remember ladies, keep the hair and makeup feminine and simple to avoid the butch/costume/tranny look!

Seen on the runways at Alexander Wang and popping up on blog queens such as Rumi from Fashion Toast you can expect this no pain lots of gain trend to be everywhere. Budget friendly options come from Nasty Gal, 80’s Purple and Urban Outfitters incase you thew yours out from the middle school days, when you weren’t allowed to get pierced and had to fake it until you made it. I’m still content to fake it, especially with all these amazing options.
