Resort 2012 Trend Report

Resort 2012 has kicked off and I am running through all collections and preparing reviews of  upcoming trends to keep you updated.

I would start with achromatic color trend (let's see how they will name it). Karl Lagerfeld never went gaga with all colorblocking this season and reminds us again! to calm down with our color choices.
 
Love the patterns in black on white in Oscar de la Renta and Prabal Gurung, printed sleeves in Phillip Lim and bodice in Jason Wu, flattering blocks in Chanel and collarred tube top in Versace.

The biggest print trend for Resort 2012 is wallpaper prints, especially noticeable in achromatic trend.
 
Rare designer doesn't show jumpsuits (or matching 2 piece trousers suit) on the runway these days in all over prints. As I see it will be a major trend next summer...

For those, who like to infuse color in their wardrobes and cannot let colorblock go, designers suggest to combine achromatic trend with pop up colors:
A lot of designers offer us sportwear inspired collections for Resort 2012 with running shorts, zip-front jackets, tennis dresses and tight clothing with strong reference on scuba,which I believe got emerged from colorblock trend.

Nice detailing which becoming a center piece next year is long fringe.
Salvatore Ferragamo literally makes cat walk, Lanvin creates a masterpiece in all over fringe, Willow evokes Wild Wild West, MMM keeps it clean, Marni and Tribune Standard bring elegance, Balmain uses chains and rock'n'roll feel and none of them look like belly dancers!

Nautica trend always comes back during summer months...

Like the play of the different stripes widths by Philosophy, piano inspried stripes by Douglas Hannant, evening point of view by S. Ferragamo, girly look by YSL and understated elegance by Rachel Roy.

Bohemian trend gets transition into arabian elegance...
 

And I would like to point that red color is going to be dominant for overall look with matching shoes, lips and nails like in old fashion times.
