Trend Watch: Flower Power

By Ara Anjargolian | 10 June 2008, 1:24 AM

After seeing every possible permutation of stripes, dots and plaid (oh god the plaid) designers for Spring 2008 have turned to the humble flower print for a splash of color and creativity. But naturally, the designers we're drawn to have taken the print and added their own twist to it. Which is to say, this is not your grandmother's flower print.

It's important to keep your shins warm and if you can do it with a bit of style, well then, why not?

Trend Watch: Flat Leather Sandals

By Ara Anjargolian | 12 April 2007, 11:09 AM

Last spring and into fall it was all ballet flats all the time. This season flat leather sandals (usually with a healthy dose of Greco-Roman influence) are the shoes every designer has decided to do a take on.

Trend Watch: Pockets

By Ara Anjargolian | 10 April 2007, 1:38 AM

It's a sign of the times we suppose. On the one side we had designer clothing. On the other streetwear. And after a while of not knowing what to make of each other, more and more we're seeing the lines between streetwear and traditional cut-and-sew designer clothing blend. First streetwear went high-end, embracing careful construction techniques. Next designers mixed casual elements into even their high-end lines. We saw dresses with hoods, dresses with loud prints of streetwear provenance, and this season it's all about dresses with pockets.
