Spring 2009 Fashion
Top Ten fashion trends for Spring 2009
Spring is here at last with some exciting trends-a lot of which we’ll all be able to pull off, no matter what our body type. I think the look in general will be soft and extra-feminine. Check out some of the most interesting trends:
Spring is all about colors, so make sure you wear plenty of it.
Hervé Léger Keeps It Simple For Spring
At Hervé Legér, makeup artist Val Garland described the look she created as "a little bit punk but in a Hervé Legér way." The design team and Garland's MAC team stumbled upon their perfect Spring 2009 look by accident, which is kind of punky in itself. "We did two looks [to show the Hervé Legér designers].
Best of 2008: Fabulous Fashion Week Shows
2008 spawned a tremendous flurry of fabulous Fashion Week shows. Let's see, there were New York Fall and Spring shows, Milan Fashion Week, Paris Fashion Week, London Fashion Week, and LA Fashion Week. Oh, and don't forget all of the ravishing Resort and Pre-Fall collections.
New York Fashion Week, Spring 2009: Preen
New York fashion week is well under way for Spring 2009 at Bryant Park. Yesterday, British design duo Preen took to the catwalk (although Justin Thornton attended alone whilst his partner is heavily pregnant) to present their latest collection.
Preen have really been a name to watch for recent seasons and they're sure to become a household name very soon.
London Fashion Week, Spring 2009: Ashish
There was a distinct American vibe to the opening of this collection shown on the last day of Spring 2009 London Fashion Week. It began with a military feel with camouflage pieces that were made glamorous with a lot of sequins.
Certain glossy magazines this month have declared the end of grunge, but with collections like this it seems fashion's love affair with grungey dressing is never quite over.
New York Fashion Week, Spring 2009: Michael Kors
It's quite grey here in London today so imagine how much Michael Kors has managed to brighten up my day with his Spring 2009 collection. The fun, playful line from Michael Kors was shown yesterday morning as part of New York Fashion Week.
There were plenty of polka dots, stripes and even a bit of tartan in the line which used a bright colour palette of tomato red, canary yellow and cobalt blue.
New York Fashion Week, Spring 2009: Matthew Williamson
British designer Matthew Williamson took his Spring 2009 collection to New York Fashion Week yesterday presenting a line of beautifully structured dresses. Incorporating plenty of colour and spangle, the designer also used the opportunity to launch his accessories line.
Bright floral prints were trimmed with gold to create a boho party style that is sure to go down nicely in Ibiza next summer.
Runway Hair Gone Wild
It wouldn't be the runway without some dramatically wild looks. After all, fashion shows are meant to showcase avant-garde style. All this week, models have been strutting their stuff during Spring 2009 Fashion Week in Paris, and I've put together a collection of some of the most extreme hairstyles thus far.
London Fashion Week, Spring 2009: Vivienne Westwood
It is pleasing to note that Vivienne Westwood's Red Label show now seems to be a permanent fixture of London Fashion Week. After her Berlin clubland-inspired Anglomania collection at Berlin Fashion Week this summer, Westwood's Red Label girl has taken on a more sophisticated approach for Spring/Summer 2009. With a front row that included Kate Moss, Dita von Teese, Daisy Lowe and rather bizarrely, Pamela Anderson, this was one of the most hotly anticipated shows of the week.
London Fashion Week, Spring 2009: Ossie Clark
The revival of '70s designer Ossie Clark went in to it's second season yesterday under the careful guidance of Avsh Alum Gur who presented the collection at London Fashion Week. For Spring 2009 the line used a wide palette of bright colours alongside muted tones.
Hand painted florals appeared in bright colours contrasting against neutral fabrics next to long gowns.
