Its fashion week in New York! They are currently holding tons of fashion shows and previews that are showcasing the trends for Fall 2012 Ready-To-Wear (they always show trends for the next season during the current season). The looks, colors, trends that we are seeing on the runways are early indicators of what we should see in stores once fall lines come out (around about early August). As someone that wishes they could put fashion in a tea cup and drink it every morning, I am absolutely excited about it all. I am on my phone or online constantly checking for photos or videos from the latest shows. Seriously, I’ve looked at photos/videos from over 30 shows in the last few days. You may call that crazy. I call it fun research.
I don’t only look at the pictures or videos just to say that I did. I look at the trends. I take note of the things that I am seeing a lot of and how they differ or look similar to what we are wearing now. I like to know what is “in”. I like to be able to give accurate advice when someone asks me what they should wear to some event or what the latest trends are. I get asked fashion advice a lot and I don’t want to give someone information that will have them stepping out in out-of-date fashion. That would be cruel.
Beyond trend watching, I am looking at these shows because I just love fashion. I get excited when I see an amazing show from one of my favorite designers. Words like ‘love”, “obsessed”, and “die” become huge portions of my everyday vocabulary during this time of year. My passion for this industry becomes even more evident. I look at some shows over and over because I become so obsessed with the new looks. Basically, I lose my mind and go into a brief state of fashion insanity.
Since today is the last day and in order to save you from becoming overwhelmed by all of the fabulousness that is New York Fashion Week, I have pulled a few looks from my favorite designers that represent the trends that will be present in the fall. As well as pictures of things I just love, die for or have become obsessed with.
