4 Trends that Spring Forward

Jessica Lapidos — Sun, 09 Oct 2011 20:39:37 +0000

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.

Menswear billowed into womenswear.The androgyny laid not in cutting a man's suit for a woman, but taking those elements that define a man's wardrobe and blowing it out with a feminine angle. Like a tuxedo shirt that melts into draped jersey. Or suit pants that slit upen to reveal another trouser.

Spring was designed in sheer delight. Whether crochet or clear like water, we see through next spring, and so will you.

Let the leg out. While we're still loving the maxi, they're being steered in a sexier route. Thigh high slits make the floor length look thankfully less austere.

"Florals in spring. Groundbreaking." Exactly why we're so surprised it was so strong for Spring 2012. But it was positively everywhere. The trend forecasters must have predicted rain, because designers listened. That or they all independently decided that now is the time for a communal bloom. Floral or not, it's all about the pattern mash. Loud and proud, ladies.

We Are Not The Same, I Am a Martian

Hello Earthlings. It’s me, Krystal Glynn, bearing gifts from the likes of Dion Lee, Therese Rawsthorne, Sass & Bide, Carla Zampatti, Michael Lo Sordo and Prada. I’ve come all the way from Australian publication Madison Magazine to be with you, NASA astronauts. I hope you don’t mind that my photographer Nick Scott came along. Fashion editor Nicole Bonython-Hines provides my sleek, futuristic look on the outside, but I’m an alien at heart.

A Big Day for Red White and Blue

Jessica Lapidos — Mon, 02 May 2011 13:43:17 +0000

Today is a day for patriotism. And colors typically reserved for the 4th of July should be in full regal! Feel free (and that’s the point of all of this, isn’t it?) to wear Red White and Blue today to show support for our country. Osama Bin Laden is dead. Justice has been done.

Top to bottom, left to right: White derby hat – Melissa Obadash, Blue braided belt – Zara, Zip-up cape (back: “Love is the answer”) – Wildfox Couture, Rose patterned patriot – Filthy Magic, Red burst fascinator – CC, Read between the Lines – Moschino, Universe spangled skirt – Christopher Kane, Red print skinnies – Isabel Marant, Red ‘n’ white stripe jeans – Balmain, American floral capri – Topshop, Red stripe slouch – Sass & Bide, Star studded boot – Michael Antonio, 50 star strappies – Lovers + Friends, Red clear cats eye – Dorothy Perkins, Blue frame shades – Thierry Lasry

Now get dressed, and join the pandemonium in the streets near you if you must. And keep safe.
