2011 Style Trends

The days following New York Fashion Week are always somewhat schizophrenic. The dust is barely settling from all the shows, the taxis, and the very late nights, and we're already wondering what's to come from London and the rest of the shows on the horizon. But what NYFW does that none of the others do, is lead the way for all those big ideas that anchor the season. The New York collections come first, so we naturally applaud all our favorite designers—from Phillip Lim and Jason Wu to Rag & Bone and Marc Jacobs—for making all of these bold declarations first...and so beautifully. So, herein lies our list of the spring 2011 fashion trends that made the fashion week shows so unique and iconic. And if you're like us, you'll want to start giving some of these looks a whirl right now...those high-waisted wide-leg trousers and the dolman sleeve? We're on it.

1. The Re-Return of the Wide-Leg Trouser—For some of us, the high-waisted, wide-leg trouser will never really go out of style. So, when we saw it popping up on practically everyone's runways—the sidewalks outside the shows, included!—we knew these '70s-inspired bottoms were back with a vengeance. And Marc, Tory, and Tommy all fashioned them to perfection.

2. A Zest For Orange—Rich mango, persimmon, ripe pumpkin—however you slice it, bold orange was one of spring's sweetest color trends. And whether paired with white at Marc Jacobs or with bad-girl booties at Chris Benz, this intense shade feels fresh once again.

Virtual Closet. Be Your Own Stylist!

I stumbled (luckily, I believe) on a website that is truly for each fashionista. Polyvore is like a virtual closet where you can put outfits together without having to dress up yourself. Clothes, jeans, bags, accessories, etc. from various online fashion shops (like Topshop, InStyle, Nordstrom, even ebay and so much more) are up for makeovers.

You become a fashion designer. You become a stylist. You get to be creative!

Check out the outfits I put together. ;)

Top Fashion Designers

Fashion designers are creators of art. They build their works from fabrics, patterns, accessories, all kinds of precious materials and metals. They are unique because they are able to attach their final result on every day life. You, the buyer, are able to assimilate their esthetics and talent into your own persona. They assemble together unexpected combinations and give color and beauty to our living. Fashion designers orient their products towards the needs of the customers: practical, glamorous, casual, haute-couture, nonconformist, classy, serious and so on. Their number is directly connected to the personalities that aspire to a certain fashion style.

Today the most acclaimed fashion designers are either extremely innovative or utterly dominant across the years in the world of fashion – or both. Only the best and most talented and daring can prevail in such a tough and versatile industry. Fashion designers all over the world have established countries with a fashion industry of their own. Five nations have achieved international reputations in fashion design: Italy, France, United Sates of America, United Kingdom and Japan.

The first names that come to your mind when referring to French fashion are Christian Dior, Chanel, Jean-Paul Gaultier, Givenchy,Nina Ricci, Louis Vuitton or Yves Saint-Laurent .

These fashion designers have always maintained the chic characteristic of every French creation, always focusing on class, refined style and high-end glamour. They design sophisticated clothes, complemented by smart accessories. They have salons, boutiques and presentations all over the world and they always seem to prevail with their esthetic sense over the majority of fashion shows each year.

Unfortunately, Paris is thought to be losing its fashion crown to London. The British designers that have become very popular over the years are Vivienne Westwood, Sir Hardy Amies, Christopher Kane and Christopher Bailey. It needs to be pointed out that the first fashion designer was British, although he established his name in Paris. Their creations embody the traditional British style that conveys elegant postures. Their conservative creations are made of extravagant fabrics that breathe a touch of royalty and dignity.

Italian designers that represent the peak of worldwide fashion creations are Gucci, Dolce and Gabbana, Armani, Versace, Gianfranco Ferrè and Valentino. Some are popular for their clear-cut leather clothes, others for brightly-colored creations or for a subtle touch of masculinity impregnated in the women’s lines. They all encompass informal elegance and luxury, perfectly combining the classic with the modern in the usual Italian way. Milan is considered to be the fashion capital of this country.

Tokyo hosts most of the Japanese fashion houses. Here, top fashion designers are Issey Miyake, Kenzo and Rei Kawakubo. Their creations are characterized by unstructured and complicated cuts, abundant patterns and dark colors. They often use multiple layers highly innovative cuts.

In the Unite States, the dominant style is a casual, athletic one. These top designers concentrate on the loose but elegant demeanor of fashion. They combine the practical with unique details resulting in a modern, relaxed sophistication. These are Calvin Klein, Ralph Lauren, Donna Karan, Marc Jacobs, Tommy Hilfiger and Anna Sui. Very popular among the young generation are Hollister, Abercrombie and Fitch, Coach and American Eagle. New York has established itself as the main fashion oriented city.

Women’s Fashion – 2011′s Best Leather Jackets

You would be forgiven for thinking a leather jacket is a leather jacket and that’s that, but there are many styles and varieties to this versatile garment and perhaps the most classic of these is the blazer. Well-cut and smart, its clean lines can take you from the office to socializing and back again while looking undeniably good – no one will notice if you wear it several days in a row. It’s a true wardrobe staple, wearable by everyone and totally worth the investment.
Staying with the glamour and ease of leather, but adding a slight hint of practicality to proceedings, you could check out the fantastic Shearling jacket for a brilliant addition to your winter wardrobe. The fur lining and detailing on the collar and cuffs not only looks fantastic but will keep you warm, meaning you don’t have to face the well-known debate over whether to sacrifice body heat for fashion while letting you put your own stamp on the style classic.

Maybe fur – faux or otherwise – isn’t your thing but you’re still looking for an alternative to the traditional leather jacket, in which case, the zip-front bomber is fantastic. These jackets are close-fitting, warm and practical, often coming with lots of zip-up pockets – great for those days when you don’t feel like carrying a handbag. They also look great in a variety of colors, meaning you can mix and match with your wardrobe and make a statement with color as well as style.

Perhaps if you’re looking to combine warmth with classic tailoring, you could try the ultra chic leather trench. Amazing in a range of colors from black to brown to bright red, the trench is a brilliant leather twist on the traditional winter coat. It looks particularly great over a suit and the softness of the leather means it’s easily wearable for any occasion. Whether it’s knee-length or down to the floor, the trench is always popular and it’s not hard to see why when it looks this good.

OK, maybe straight leather isn’t your thing or you’re looking for a quirky alternative to make the style your own. Fear not, for the suede and pleather jacket is the perfect blend of individuality and fashion. Coming in a variety of styles, you could go for pleather with suede detailing or an all-out pleather and suede combo wearable on any occasion. Pleather might not sound classy but it looks great and is perfect for the woman on a budget. A great buy.

Top Fashion Trends for Spring 2009

Desperate times call for fabulous fashions, and designers paid heed to the call this spring.  From glittery what-recession...? flapper frocks (Alberta Ferretti; Aquilano.Rimondi) to Ali Baba pants (Ralph Lauren), turbans (Dries Van Noten), 80s high glam (Balmain), and liquid mercury goddess gowns (YSL), despite dismal headlines, the show went on. Style.com just released their Spring 2009 Trend Report, highlighting the season's Top 6 trends:

Depression Chic Working both sides of the crash of '29, glittery dresses were balanced by faded sack dresses (Burberry; Bottega Veneta), which were fringed (Raf Simons at Jil Sander) and apparently headed for the little house on the prairie at Marc Jacobs. 

Geometry Lessons Architectural and voluminous fabric folds, twists, bends, and manipulations evoked Minnie Mouse ears (the sleeves at Dolce & Gabbana), ruffled skirts (Oscar de la Renta), and fabulous boxiness (Calvin Klein).

Goddess Worship Even if the news is bad, a girl can still live large in a drapey, go-to goddess gown: light and airy at Marchesa, liquid mercury at Yves Saint Laurent, and accented with jewels at Catherine Malandrino and Monique Lhuillier.

Marrakech Express Hear the raucous call of a Morroccan souk, thanks to djellabas (Gucci), harem pants (Ralph Lauren), turbans (Dries & Paul Smith), and countless slouchy, sexy silk jumpsuits fit for lounging langorously beneath the Arabian night sky.

Sporting Goods As we continue to collectively tip the scales into mass obesity, designers are fighting back with fabulous running pants, hoodies, and body suits (Louis Goldin; Missoni; Michael Kors), and, in one case, boxing gear (Kris Van Assche).  But with threads this sleek, will people be willing to break a sweat?

Trash & Vaudeville Enough already with whining about the 80s being back.  Thanks to Proenza Schouler, Alexander Wang, London's Meadham Kirchhoff, and Christophe Decarnin (Balmain), ripped denim and shredded lace has never looked better.
