Spring 2012’s Most Wearable Fashion Trends
Fashion Week always serves up a host of fun trends to try and this spring, thankfully, they were oh-so-wearable. From statement-making prints to cool new color combos, discover tons of new outfit ideas for the warm-weather season ahead. Trust us, you’ll find something you just can’t wait to put on.
When you spend your days as the editor of chief of Harper's Bazaar or as a buyer for major fashion institutions like Neiman Marcus or Net-a-Porter, you tend to get a feel for what trends designers have in mind before the runways are even walked. We asked some of fashion's finest what they're forecasting for Spring 2012. See who sees neon sticking around, who's thinking pink and who likes to be surprised.
"Each season the runways of New York, London, Paris and Milan are filled with beautiful fabrics, textures and styles. For spring seasons in particular, we've seen designers offer up strong color palettes that consumers have responded to with open arms. If Cruise 2012 was any indication as to what we will be seeing for Spring 2012, I think bold and strong looks are definitely in the cards."
