Spring/Summer Trends 2013 Review

The shows may be coming to an end but the trend setting is still going. The shows have left behind a variety of trends for us to talk about, follow or make our own. We are spoiled for choice this year! The biggest trends seem to be neons, happy colours, pastels, monochrome, plaid, checkered patterns and cool cropped proportions. I'm here with you today to go through my top three trends that the designers had on show for us this Spring/Summer.

#1: Marc Jacobs
I thought that Marc did a fabulous job on the monochrome (black and white) trend this year. He used the lines to flatter the female figure and elongate it. For those of you who are a fan of this trend, New Look do a really good selection on it so pop in to have a look.

#2: Louis Vuitton

Louis Vuitton did a really good job on neons and monochrome this year. They really stuck with yellow, black and white which I thought was cool and individualistic. There were a few pastels thrown in as well. Yellow is a huge trend this summer and these guys made it really fun to wear. I'm getting a bit of a 60's vibe. A Wear have a really good range of bright summer colours. I think that Louis Vuitton would put us all into debt!

#3: Alexander McQueen: Without a doubt my utmost favorite out of the shows. Sarah Burton took inspiration from beehives and played around with shapes, colours and textures. She really made Spring and Summer so colourful this year (we all need some of that here in Ireland). Her designs were fun and spectacularly made. The colour palette of this collection from Alexander McQueen was so exciting and I look forward to experimenting with them soon. Here are some images from the Spring/Summer 2013 show.

Much love, 

Shannon.
