Spring Fashion / Trashion Trends

Checking out this spring's new, and not so new, fashion trends can inspire our own work in fresh and exciting ways.

Another spring trend which we will call UNDER THE SEA highlights blues and greens and turquoises and corals. Seashell necklaces, starfish rings and all things beachy will be happening everywhere.

Anything that reminds me of those warm, relaxing summer vacations is, as Martha would say, a good thing.

More Spring Fashion / Trashion Trends

Here are some more hot spring trends that may spark a creative fire in your belly.

DIGITAL duds with pixelated patterns are going to be everywhere. Even Fendi clutches have bold digital designs that prove it is chic to be geek. Think modern tie-dye with this trend.

Clunky, bold jewelry, computer-age graphics, the dicotomy of digital with softer, lighter fabrics are all pieces of this modern mosaic.

Jewel-trim headbands and leather clutches, embellished dresses and sky-high platform sandals will be everywhere. Pastels and little hearts will be happening with this style.

Spring Fashion / Trashion Trends

In my effort to stay trendy (who knew!)- I will be dissecting a few spring fashion trends this week in an effort to see how we can integrate what's hot and what's not into our own work. The first trend this spring is called American Pie, but we will just call it spots and dots.

Spots and dots aren't really anything new but are being incorporated into fashion in new ways. Constellation prints, seen on the runway at Marni and Michael Kors, adorn everything from blazers and handbags to dresses and shoes for spring.

The old frontier look is new again. Another trend this spring is Pioneers. Plaids, stripes, and faded flower prints; think linen sundresses and chunky wood wedges.

Pieces that feel homespun and are prairie-ready for spring. Not exactly what Laura Ingalls Wilder would wear, but what she would have wanted to wear. The modern prarie look includes ruffles and plaids and crisp, clean lines.
