McQ Resort 2012
Well, we saw the neons in Kors now it is time for the vivid colors of the McQ Resort collection for 2012 to showcase the almost neon look in print. The collection is filled with the hot colors palette of electric blue, neon hot pink, and orange. So, should be say that the brights are back for 2012? We think we may be getting closer to this prediction!
Neon Makes a Statement
Posted by Katie on June 2nd, 2011
While looking through the latest Michael Kors Resort 2012 fashions I noticed one overwhelming feature, neon colors. The colors used for this collection were neon lime and pink, black and gold. Is this showing news to come of the bright neons colors making a comeback for the next season. Also, is this a trend of heading back to gold as an accent color where over the past years silver/platinum is the accent needed. We all shall see as more of 2012 is reviewed.

Sequins Move Forward

Boss Ready to Wear Spring Collection
Boss has made a mark on the trends of the ladies formalwear industry with the latest collection. This full sequin evening dress in slate makes a true statement on the runway. Many prom designers for 2011 used sequins in their collections but many in the industry wondered if this signaled the return of the full sequin gown that was so popular in the early 1990′s. We think that sequins have made a come back, however this time the use of dimension to the sequin is extremely relevant to the look of the gown. We have to say we love the new use of sequin and hope it continues for a few more seasons!

Taylor Swift with J Mendel
The always lovely Taylor Swift wears an elegant gown from top designer J Mendel (Gilles Mendel of the design house of J Mendel shown). The elegant lace and tiered one shoulder gown showed the grace that the young star has on the red carpet. The Costume Institution Gala presented J Mendel with the fashion designer of the year.
Look for the one shoulder styling to remain strong for the 2012 prom season as many red carpet designers are still designing this cold shoulder look for the upcoming collections.
