New York s/s09 trends

One can spot countless trends in all of the collections shown at New York Fashion Week, and many of the fashion & style writers did.  However, a few main tends popped up many times in many collections, often falling into many categories (for example, one look might be metallic & tailored).

1. Tailored.  This look consisted of very classic tailoring, but with modern twists.  Some of the suit pieces were very late 80s-early 90's woman power suit, with the use of big shoulders and bright colors. I really liked the slouchy linen shorts suit look- I thinks its a fresh idea.

2. Metallic.  This trend has lasted from this years lines to next year, with more emphasis on metallic fabrics than metallic accessories.  

3. 70's Inspired.  The Boho looks is still in full effect, with the maxi dresses and head scarves, big glasses and wide leg pants.  High waisted is huge, and looks like it will still be huge for s/s09.

4. Jumpsuits.  Part of the 70's look, rompers and full on jumpsuits paired with blazers and platform heels were huge.  I think this look is the fiercest- its very versatile and ca

n transition easily from day to night.  Proenza Schouler and Marc Jacobs stood out here.
