TRENDSPARK: Black and White

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?

TRENDSPARK: Skinny Boyfriends
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.

TRENDSPARK: Eye Tricks








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.

TRENDSPARK: Greasy Hair?

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.

TRENDSPARK: Slicked Back Hair

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?

TRENDSPARK: Guys In Glitter


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?

TRENDSPARK: Men In Color-blocking



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!
Thanks Coute Que Coute!

TRENDSPARK: Winter White

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!
