Spring 2009:Fashion trends from new york fashion week

The Harem Pant

The Harem Pant is full through the hip and leg and banded at the ankel. How to make this work you ask…. making it work for you is simple: sandals, slim fitting tops, and the pants alone are enough  which means keeping your accesories to a minumum.

The Jumpsuit

Spring and Summer ‘09, it’s about jumpsuits!  Whats so great about it it’s casual-chic its  sophisticated and dressy– like the black boat neck number at Max Azria –The hottest key item will be the jumpsuit ladies.

The Abstract Patterns

The collectic mix of folkloric and abstract patterns  really come together.Colors clashed and came together in a enduring theam –  during New York Fashion Week. While the trend doesn’t  translate “throw on anything” it does however set a relaxed attitude towards fearless color mixing . Have fun with it. 

Blazers

It’s not the typical suit jacket that caught The Adory’s eye on the runways, but the blazer thrown on over a dress, pant or even pair of shorts; not to create the look of a suit, but for a bit of casual ease, as if to replace the cardigan she usually thinks to reach for. Slightly oversized, and definitely not uptight, the idea of throwing a blazer over her bare shoulders come Spring and Summer ‘09 is something she’s sure to incorporate into her look.

Pretty Flower Prints

 Spring is all about flowers! From the oversized flower worn by Carrie in Sex and the City to the print work we see in many of the shows for 09. Flower power bloomed into Fall ‘08 wardrobes, the trend continues with pretty watercolor prints that look like a Monet painting, abstract oversized patterns that hint at the flowers that inspired them, and everything in between.

Colorfull Crops

They are skinny they are just right about the ankel they are faboulous! But for Spring ‘09,  colorful cigarette pants to added to everyones closet. From hot pink at Matthew Williamson to red at Carolina Herrera, think bright pants paired with a neutral top and accessories … adorable.

Graphic Black and White

Every season has its own version of black and white. In Spring 2009, the positive-negative of black and white will pop up in everything from swirling florals and embroideries to boxy graphics.

The Slim Silhouette

The slim silhouette is beautiful . Whether it’s a fitted sweater over a skinny jeans, or a pencil skirt topped with a belted jacket, this one’s always a winner look. For Spring ‘09, there were several slim looks from a perfectly proportioned black suit at Charles Nolan to the shimmering off-white opening look at Tracy Reese.

Controlled Volume

A little here a little there is plenty of volume for Spring ‘09 runways. Designers kept it under control; sometimes with a belt or in other cases just because of the lightness and sheerness of the fabric itself. My favorite examples are the sheer jacket at Ralph Lauren, chic see through cover-ups at Philip Lim and Erin Fetherston, and belted blouses at Carolina Herrera.

Eye Candy Details

There’s more to the eye then what appears, and for Spring ‘09, The Adory keeps the following details on her radar: collarless jackets, trench and pea coat styling, bows and ruffles at the neck, defined waists, the belted shift dress or shirt dress, chunky necklaces and strapping.

That’s all for now
