How To Fall for Spring 2012 Trends Now
Edited by Amanda Gabriele
In lieu of of the Spring 2012 collections shown in New York, London, Milan and soon-to-come Paris, we can easily forget to focus on what to wear this fall. But there are plenty of trends we’ve seen on the runways during the past three weeks that can easily be integrated into our wardrobes during the few chilly months left in 2011. Don’t save the mesh, dropped waist and sorbet colors for next season – we’ll show you how to wear them right now.
Although Diesel Black Gold’s Fall 2009 collection had many viewers scratching their heads, the label’s hand at designing and styling for the sophisticated homeless person was beyond successful. Leave it up to Renzo Rosso to turn mix-matched textures, preppy patterns, oversized suits, seemingly stained bodysuits and teased out hair into the street cult we know and love. With elements of the Roaring Twenties, the lingerie-esque dresses, fish-net headgear, corseted sweaters and ankle-chocking tie-up boots were undoubtedly reminiscent of Lou Reed’s rebellious punker Velvet Underground. It’s about time someone pulled off the mix-matchy vibe this season!
