I know it’s the nature of the beast, but I always find it odd to be focusing on next season’s fashions (spring in this case) when this season (fall) has not even begun. Nonetheless, it does give us something to look forward to during the cooler upcoming months. As Fashion Week continues, here are some of the trends I see emerging. Notice some of the models are actually wearing FLATS on the runway.
Whites are back! Great news for brides, and anyone with a killer tan not going to a bridal function.

Neutrals. Another trend that is staying around, but now including more muted grey and champagne colors in addition to traditional khaki.

Colorful brights. Color lovers rejoice. While spring fashions are generally splashed with all hues of the rainbow, 2011 promises to be extra full of brightly colored hues to off-set and enhance neutrals.

And Lastly, a classic, black and white.
