Trend Report: Spring 2012 From A to Z
Spring 2012 New York Fashion Week Trends: Art
Two years ago, watercolor prints were all the rage. But this season, designers were inspired by all sorts of art forms from large brush strokes to dip-dyed ombré and splattered paint. After his show, Patrik Ervell told me that his Hawaiin inspired colors were created by actually artists in Brooklyn!

Spring 2012 New York Fashion Week Trends: Blue
Cobalt, navy, teal, turquoise, cornflower, royal… you name the blue and chances are it made at least one appearance during Mercedes Benz fashion week. While some designers were influenced by the ocean, others were in a 1920s French mood. The top two blues according to the Pantone color report were Sodalite Blue (classic maritime): “calming” and “dependable” as well as Cockatoo (blue-green): “tactile” and “whimsical.”

Spring 2012 New York Fashion Week Trends: Colorblock
Hopefully you appreciate colorblocking as much as I do because the trend isn’t going anywhere anytime soon. Unlike the jewel tone combos we’ve been seeing for fall, spring’s colorblock pairings included neons, blues and warm pinks, reds and oranges.
