TRENDS FOR SPRING/SUMMER 2012

Following a great day at the Pure exhibition in London, I have come away with all the forecast trends for A/W 2012 and S/S 2013.  There were some exciting catwalk presentations hi-lighting fashion for future seasons and for this Spring/Summer.

Top Trends and colours for THIS Spring/Summer 2012

Colours for the season:-
Bold bright, block and clashing separates
Candy sugary pretty shades
Black and white are key colours
Tangerine is THE colour of the season - how bright you can go depends on your colouring

Texture  -
Mix textures - lace and sheer materials are used in panels

Florals  -
Bright small prints and amplified large prints on white and black backgrounds

Mix patterns -
African influence is strong

Dresses are making a come back the simple shift dress, mini, midi and maxi lengths.







NEW this season is the peplum and drop waist on dresses and skirts this style elongates the silhouette and hides any tummies.  This trend is continuing into next Winter's styles.

The 'sporty look' is key in the younger fashions influenced by the summer Olympics.








Think Primal Futurism, sharp minimalism with textures, layered tunics and cropped jackets.
Cinematic, inspired by seductive Hollywood heroines, curvaceous shapes, sophisticated fabrics
J-peg Gen, simple colours, spontaneous styling, mismatched disorder, fun and youthfulness.
