Spring Trends for 2011

Hello there!  Today I am writing about current trends for the upcoming Spring, 2011 and I am tracking just one designer. It was difficult to pick one designer as there are so many good designers to choose from
However, I finally decided upon this collection because I love it!  It is none other than Dolce & Gabanna.  I am going to point out trends they utilize in this upcoming collection.

The first trend is so new it is going to be interesting to watch because it's appeal may only apply to a certain amount of women.  However, Dolce & Gabbana present this trend in a beautiful and tasteful approach.  The trend is Lingerie as to be worn as outer garments.  It is a bit controversial, definitely artsy and how well the public will embrace this remains to be seen. It will take the test of time.  A true trend lasts around 2 years or a bit more or otherwise it could peak early and become a  Fad.  The choice of Fabrics is going to be a selling point for me because even if it is Spring and it goes into Summer.  I would not wear any Lingerie outer garments that wouldn't breathe unless it is natural fabrics.  The humidity on the East Coast is enough not to wear this if it is a synthetic. No worries for Dolce & Gabbana as they use the best natural fabrics but the knockoffs will soon follow.
Some other designers are a bit racy with lingerie but Dolce & Gabbana effortlessly present this gorgeous piece and the color white is a spring trend color but it is also a staple that is used in Spring because it works.
Pictured below is a white lace-up lace lingerie as outerwear blouse and skirt. Dolce & Gabbana utilize four trends (minimum) into this one look:  First they use the lingerie trend, second they use the lace trend, third they use white as a trend color and fourth they accessorize the model with clogs which is also an upcoming shoe trend.

This outfit is darling and also ladylike.  Ladylike is another trend and I'm not sure if they were incorporating that trend as well.  That would be five trends in one look.  Parts of the design are sheer at the waist but not too sheer.  Sheer is another trend and obviously sheer and lingerie go together like hand in glove.  It's obvious why Dolce & Gabanna are so successful, they are gifted at their craft!





The next picture Dolce & Gabbana use below is the ever popular animal  print trend incorporated with white in the design with the ladylike trend as well.  Unless, you are completely confident as designers the values of white and leopard print do not match and yet it is a blend  that completely works.  They accessorized the purse in black another trend color.  The skirt is full and captures yet another trend, the full skirt.  The models dark hair and olive skin work perfect for this outfit.  It is so beautiful and terrrrrific! Okay, there used to be an old commercial for Kellogg's Frosted Flakes back in the day and Tony the Tiger would say, "it's Terrrrrific!"




The next picture shows yet another beautful ensemble utilizing the latest trends.  I am going to say that although I haven't read it but by my observation is that this beautiful shade of blue will be a trend color.  They utilize this blue/gray shade in a short cropped jacket which is also a trend.  They utilize the previously other mentioned trends of  lace, sheer and white.  It is a cocktail trend but presented in the most beautiful manner. The cut-out lace I have seen in person in Venice is exquisite.  This is absolutely stunning!  I love the blue embroidery detailing on this jacket.  The last thing I want to comment upon is the silhouette.  The silhouette of  all of the skirts are minis, the blouse are fitted as well. This goes along with yet another trend the 60's.  Dolce & Gabanna are brilliant!
