Spring 2012 is blooming before our very eyes as trends fall in fringe, sprout like flowers and actively kick it into hyperspeed. Designers from New York and London are on a wavelength that transcends oceans, and that frequency is tickling our future wardrobes with trends we love.

The sweetest color story to ice the runway is sherbet's pastel palette. Light and fruity, it harkens back to childhood only with a twist of business silhouette.

Sportswear is actively working its way into the daily regalia. It'll leave you prepared to break a sweat without a change.

This overskirt piece has been adding volume since the 19th century. Now done in our favorite muted brights, they kick a pencil skirt up.

Leave a sleeve off for the asymmetry of it. The cut is feels right in sheer and bouncy textiles.

Fringe is falling on spring, shagging shirts and leaving them stringy. Shimmy and shake in this new take on the 20's trim.

We already sniffed out the painted floral trend on the third day of NYFW, but the powerful flower prints just keep on sprouting. Whether digitized in a McQueenian manner or illustrated á la art deco, the prints we've been going gaga over have the same common blooming thread.

On Tuesday we were invited to view the Ports 1061 Pre-Spring 2010 collection, entitled “Tea Room Collection”. The collection is a 20′s-looking mix of menswear inspired pieces, metallic threads and flapper-esque dresses. It takes inspiration from Charles Mackintosh and Margaret Macdonald, an internationally successful Scottish interior designer and architect and his artist wife. The clean silhouette comes alive with Onyx and Pearl embellishments, shades of plum and nude, paddle sleeves, gold metallic tweed, and graphic velvet.

Previous collections are available for viewing on the Ports 1961 website.
