Let's Predict Fashion's Future- Spring/Summer 2011 Part 7

Trend #7: Masculine Tailor Wear

 Sloppy formal wear is the way to go with Michael Kors

This ensemble by Dries Van Noten is more feminine with a cinched in waist.

In my opinion, I embrace feminity in fashion but mixing it with a tinge of masculinity does give an edgy look which is great.

Trend #6 White!

This beautiful ensemble is by Dolce & Gabanna. These angelic dresses embellished with crystals are fit for a princess.

With white being such a neutral colour, it can be worn in different ways. Reed Krakoff went for a more urban and sporty look as compared to D&G's.

Trend #5:  Loud Prints!

Not just animal prints, we're talking fruity, floral, stripes, even monkey prints that are all vibrant in colours!

Prada's collection

Yes that is a banana infested dress and yes that top had monkey motifs

Stella McCartney adds in a citrusy fruit basket into her design. Very Summery indeed.

Trend  #4: Nude!

Versace added some woven fringes to this dress to compliment its "barely there" ensemble

Haider Ackerman goes for a bolder look with this trend even though nude is not even close to being a bold colour but he Haider Ackerman made it work in this drapey rather abstract dress.

Remember: Alexander Mcqueen

Let's remember Alexander Mcqueen today on his 1st death anniversary- 11th February 2011
His lively and ever so daring approach to fashion will never be forgotten, his fashion house will still live up to his name. I am sure he will always be a renowned top fashion designer. I can't wait to get my hands on his MAC collection on Ebay.

May He Rest In Peace

But of course this will make its come back again...


Trend #3 Denim!

Stella McCartney's Spring/Summer 2011 show

Stella McCartney styled this piece in a minimalist manner yet it looks so chic.

Note how theres no accessories!

Derek Lam

Derek Lam takes a smart approach to this trend by styling it as a formal piece, very ironic.

Would you include denim, always known to be casual, in your formal wear?

Trend #2 Seventies Glamour!

Marc Jacob's Spring/Summer 2011 Show

It's all about oversized accessories and satin with Marc Jacob


and Louis Vuitton agrees no less with this trend...

Louis Vuitton's oriental theme collection still had a 70s taste to it with crystals and fringes hanging off this suit.


Grab your John Lennon-esque shades, wear your embroidery smothered pants and you're ready to go!

P.s. This blog will be on a hiatus for a few weeks so I'm scheduling posts to be updated every week for the future trends!

Remember: Alexander Mcqueen

The AMAZING Alexander Mcqueen will never be forgotten in the fashion world. He was the 4th time winner of the British Designer of the Year award of the British Fashion Awards today. Most importantly, he won the most Outstanding Achievement in Fashion Design this year which he deserved ever so much. He is one of my most favourite designers and when we spot a high street shop releasing collections similar to that of Alexander Mcqueen's, we will know where they got their inspiration from. Long live McQueen!
