Spring Trends 2010

March 17th 2010 02:32
Hot pants & boy shorts
If ever there was a time to hit the gym, it's this Spring. Hemlines have crept up to shorter than short; in fact reaching the negative. Hot pants, boy shorts, and tap pants are all variations on this shorter-than-short style, which in many cases reveal more than just one's legs. Click to read more about the hot pants trend.

Knee high & over the knee socks
Knee high socks - as well as over-the-knee and thigh high socks - are back as a trend, and the options on how to wear them are many. From the sporty to the sparkly, to layerings of socks over tights; a great pair of socks can add volumes to an outfit. Click to read more about the knee high socks trend and how to wear it.

Future warrior
The military and tribal trends collide to become this fierce fashion trend. Ancient civilisations come to life in leather tunics, metal plating, and war paint. Unequivocally fearless and with room for endless creativity, the main criteria for the modern warrior is confidence. Click to read more about the warrior trend.

High dress splits
How to pull off the ultimate in sexy without reaching for the micro-mini? Add a long dress with a high split to your Spring wardrobe. From Versace's knock-out gowns to Lanvin's elegantly draping numbers, we look at numerous ways to rock a high dress split. Click to read more about the high dress splits trend.

Sportswear: sporty clothing
Sportswear takes on a whole new level of cool when it hits trend status in 2010. Football inspirations turn tomboy chic to sexy yet effortless looks; while Bond girl scuba inspired clothing is the pinnacle of sporty bombshell. Dance and 20s inspired tennis looks also feature in our comprehensive look at sporty clothing in 2010. Click for more on sportswear fashion.

Sci-fi and Futurism
The dawn of a new decade brings forward-projecting thoughts which reflect in many a designer's work in 2010. From the dark depths of dystopia to the possibilities of evolution, sci-fi finds its way into fashion in various forms, as do re-interpretations of traditional futurist concepts. Click for more on science fiction and futuristic fashion.

Jumpsuits & playsuits
Every so often, one-piece styles of clothing have a revival. What started with bodysuits and leotards is now becoming a fully-fledged trend towards jumpsuits, playsuits, and rompers. As a unique style for Spring 2010, they won't be for everyone, but they will offer more options than you'd think. Click to read more about the jumpsuits and playsuits trend.

Patterned & printed pants
No longer must we stick to boring block colours on our lower half, for all varieties of printed pants have made their way onto the Spring runways. Whether floral, striped, abstract, bold or subdued... patterns on pants are giving us new bold wardrobe options for the warmer months. Click to read more about the printed pants trend.

See-through and sheer fabrics trend
In Spring and Summer fashion tends to get a little more revealing; we blame it on the heat, and one's desire to show off. So in 2009 turn to the sheer / see-through trend to keep you cool yet sexy. 2009/2010's sheer pieces are a mixture of the soft and feminine, to the opposite extremes of the hardcore sex-kitten. Click for more on the see-through/sheer/nude fashion trend.

Boyfriend blazers
Continuing to be a wardrobe staple for Spring/Summer 2010, the "boyfriend" blazer is a simple way to look chic whether on a fresh Spring day or mild a Summer's night. A slightly oversized jacket or blazer, sleeves rolled up, is the pinnacle of relaxed cool. Click to read more about the boyfriend blazer trend and how to wear it.

In a culture as simultaneously ancient and modern as Japan’s, it is not entirely surprising to see people amid the suited throngs of business folk wearing the traditional yukuta whilst surrounded by modern Tokyo’s intense neon glow. Yukata have been donned for thousands of years in Japan, getting their start as an after-bath wrap for members of the aristocracy and eventually evolving into a comfortable summer-worn style, as suitable for a day perusing the markets as a casual night on the town. The more widely familiar term kimono refers to the style preferable in winter.

New York is, and always has been, the working centre of the fashion industry in North America—the place where next year’s fashions are created and reported on by fashion pros inside the city’s design studios and fashion magazines. Now some of those fashion insiders are sharing their unique access to the inner workings of the fashion industry with select shoppers

Over the next few weeks I will be posting guides on where to shop around the world so come back and see whats new.

Looking for a one-stop shop for an authentic suede-fringe vest that shimmied to the strains of Santana during the Summer of Love, an asymmetrical Halston original that glittered on the dance floor at Studio 54, or a one-of-a-kind flapper dress from the Roaring ‘20s? In Miami, you need look no further than C. Madeleine’s, a 10,000-square foot high-end vintage clothing emporium where not only movie, TV, and music superstars, but also the professionals who are paid to dress them, shop for well-preserved fashions from as far back as the late 1800s and as recent as only a couple of seasons ago

Sex with Vegetables PETA Superbowl ad
PETA is trying hard to convince the average American to stop eating meat, and they think they've hit on the perfect ad: combine sexy lingerie models with vegetables, hint at sex, and air the commercial during the Superbowl.

Success! Or is it? NBC rejected the ad, calling it inappropriate, which it probably is for a nation that blew a gasket over Janet Jackson's exposed nipple
