Born 2 Shop Team Spring and Summer Forecast
Wednesday, February 09, 2011
Spring/Summer 2011 fashion is all about color tones in exotic inspiration destinations. India & Africa inspire khaki & olive. Think Moroccan textiles in corals & deep pinks. Mention Maldive and instantly blues, aquas & sea greens come to mind.
Apparel trends are taking these palettes to the runways. The focus is 60's ladylike in below the knee hemlines/tea length skirts. Think Grace Kelly.
Then we have the glamour side of the 70's showing exotic jewels, wide leg pants and fabulous platforms. Also think gold accessories to compliment your sun kissed summer glow with your updated, sophisticated look.

There is the return of macrame being used in beachwear and heavily throughout accessories such as shoes and handbags coming down the runways of Pucci & Ferragamo, Gucci & Dior. Also, the return to lace but modernized in a wider net creating a more unique pattern.
Floral prints dominated Milan whether it be used as an over the top embellishment or used in a pretty print dress from Oscar, Dolce or Marni.
The reliable nautical stripe is a dominant part of any s/s season from women's to menswear to children's. Tie a nautical top with a wider dark denim 70's jean and you've created a sexy look with ease. Incorporating stripe detail in accessories, such as a hat is an upbeat way to create charm to any look.
The 50's phenomenon of the cat eye glasses are back on the runways of Prada & Hilfiger and are here to stay into fall/winter 2011.
It's all about oversized jewelry. Necklaces in geometric shapes and stacked bangles in exotic beadwork add a dramatic feel to any outfit. Bring out your turquoise stone jewels to celebrate this.
The shoe report this season is about pops of color and fun prints to create drama. Woven strappy heels. Exotic skin ballerinas. Platforms in gold. Kitten heels with your tea length everything!
Menswear is the return to the gentleman. Great Gatsby comes to mind. Tone on tone layering is chic and understated.
The colors and silhouettes are a breath of fresh air this season-out with anything grungy and in with all things chic, sophisticated, and glamorous done with an air of ease.
