4 Trends that Spring Forward

Edited by Jessica Lapidos

Fashion Week has spread its Spring seed. The Big 4; NY, London, Milan and Paris have offically had their say, and now we can reflect. (We’re certainly not reflecting on NJ Fashion Week. Wait, what? That exists?! No, no. Well, yes. But really, no.) We’ve collected the trends that have spoken. The four trends that dominated the four cities we trust with our fashionable senses called out to us from many a runway. We’ve taken our favorite from each city, each trend that matters. See what’s abuzz here, there and everywhere for Spring 2012.

Boutique Critique:: Ava Maria: Look 4

Buckling under the weight of such beautiful objects, and body falling into a standing broken-down doll, this outfit may take you down the rabbit hole. This outfit is seeped in French history; several pieces have a long lineage in Paris. Sought out by store owner Katherine Virketiene, she’s brought into Ava Maria pour toi.

Shapes have shifted. Your coats of winters past may not stand up to the structural movements happening now.

Remember the trees, remember the grass, remember the time we saw your ass? Two loves take to the field, one barely makes it out clothed.

Edited by Corey Moran

Paul & Joe are showing us what they have in store for the shoe game with their Spring collection. The cut away lace ups featured above are some of the best I’ve seen, but it’s their toggle loafers that would have any shoe fiend swooning (believe me I m a shoe freak and they are note worthy for sure)!

Paul & Joe Spring 2009 Collection

Edited by Corey Moran

This may sound a bit weird, but I’m starting to think of men’s designers in two ways, beefy guy designers and slender guy designers. There seems to be certain collections/designers who design for a certain type of guy, and if you were to ask me Paul & Joe like their beefy guys. That may be why I’m turned off to a lot of collections immediately upon seeing who their model choice is. Not that the collection isn’t good, but I just can’t imagine myself looking like these guys do in these clothes. I do like the sort of easy going summer feel of this collection, and the suits look great as well. Just not for me.
