10 Spring Fashion Trends 2011 We Love

<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">The days following New York Fashion Week are always somewhat schizophrenic. The dust is barely settling from all the shows, the taxis, and the very late nights, and we're already wondering what's to come from London and the rest of the shows on the horizon. But what NYFW does that none of the others do, is lead the way for all those big ideas that anchor the season. The New York collections come first, so we naturally applaud all our favorite designers—from Phillip Lim and Jason Wu to Rag & Bone and Marc Jacobs—for making all of these bold declarations first...and so beautifully. So, herein lies our list of the spring fashion trends 2011 that made the fashion week shows so unique and iconic. And if you're like us, you'll want to start giving some of these looks a whirl right now...those high-waisted wide-leg trousers and the dolman sleeve? We're on it.<br /><div style="text-align: center;"><script type="text/javascript"></script><br /><script type="text/javascript"src="http://pagead2.googlesyndication.com/pagead/show_ads.js"></script><br /></div><br /><b>1. The Re-Return of the Wide-Leg Trouser -</b> For some of us, the high-waisted, wide-leg trouser will never really go out of style. So, when we saw it popping up on practically everyone's runways - the sidewalks outside the shows, included!-we knew these '70s-inspired bottoms were back with a vengeance. And Marc, Tory, and Tommy all fashioned them to perfection.<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEilUKITuSmTgWTK3bh5ClulnST33sNONIS_gceQSjNDz5VnCDiLlt28vG3PEMeWyagkWvwV__m1MhHs0OBixqIQVjpQKdw1tNzKN5_zYqhj0i6ei7bUXx_4NHufpIYWVX0Gxk95DBPbHcY/s1600/spring-fashion-trends-2011-1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEilUKITuSmTgWTK3bh5ClulnST33sNONIS_gceQSjNDz5VnCDiLlt28vG3PEMeWyagkWvwV__m1MhHs0OBixqIQVjpQKdw1tNzKN5_zYqhj0i6ei7bUXx_4NHufpIYWVX0Gxk95DBPbHcY/s1600/spring-fashion-trends-2011-1.jpg" /></a></div><br /><b>2. A Zest For Orange -</b> Rich mango, persimmon, ripe pumpkin-however you slice it, bold orange was one of spring's sweetest color trends. And whether paired with white at Marc Jacobs or with bad-girl booties at Chris Benz, this intense shade feels fresh once again.<br /><b><br /></b><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjLTvUo9V_HXupo1UA7lLCPshpbkGwtF_D1XfhxN3tcVFH8P0-eUW9DnEcs-GJtsZf3x-5tO0Iv7BjgfUPNfM19N2GOsBMqJCrFV783Xm9VGm_qKxPrBuOPk_VO2-FBnUHVyoSMMgifBMA/s1600/spring-fashion-trends-2011-2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjLTvUo9V_HXupo1UA7lLCPshpbkGwtF_D1XfhxN3tcVFH8P0-eUW9DnEcs-GJtsZf3x-5tO0Iv7BjgfUPNfM19N2GOsBMqJCrFV783Xm9VGm_qKxPrBuOPk_VO2-FBnUHVyoSMMgifBMA/s1600/spring-fashion-trends-2011-2.jpg" /></a></div><b><br /></b><br /><b>3. Futuristic Militaristic -</b> We have to honor Victoria Bartlett for planting the seeds of this trend when she first launched her line VPL in 2003. And this season, a venerable army of otherworldly whites, straps, and harnesses all pointed to a more ethereal, somewhat abstract take on the more traditional military trends of seasons past.<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgLVfhZ87GZtcpvZMWzBHaXQdwSg7Co2VD2OMWHJAy4_nWsgKSE7T08hHX78XUEPkTAfKdwifp3siyyA0dTwgFDOuTb4ZoLQG5mK9eTy-wDCuxJdrurvj7M9CLcPblhIZm0p93bA_aiQhU/s1600/spring-fashion-trends-2011-3.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgLVfhZ87GZtcpvZMWzBHaXQdwSg7Co2VD2OMWHJAy4_nWsgKSE7T08hHX78XUEPkTAfKdwifp3siyyA0dTwgFDOuTb4ZoLQG5mK9eTy-wDCuxJdrurvj7M9CLcPblhIZm0p93bA_aiQhU/s1600/spring-fashion-trends-2011-3.jpg" /></a></div><br /><b>4. A Full Skirt Moment -</b> The mini craze that has swept closets and women's gams for the past few years has slowly given way to longer hemlines (could that century-old connection to a conservative economy be true?). But spring's skirt obsession wasn't so much about restraint as it was about elegance and sophistication. And the styles we spotted at Marc Jacobs, Suno, and Band Of Outsiders were nothing short of serious statements themselves.<br /><br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjzi02tF0GoAHYdgHrR7fBwz5iF7mMrbm9BDo7LSuCdasvjeYUNOqIf0uUo9gMBqcGvyejMDLtkaOWe7WvnJ2PlfaAtcPCqQozYtdc7z8FBb9yZOXe90C69PJWPv6WSvXq1Ac1hMiAI3Og/s1600/spring-fashion-trends-2011-4.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjzi02tF0GoAHYdgHrR7fBwz5iF7mMrbm9BDo7LSuCdasvjeYUNOqIf0uUo9gMBqcGvyejMDLtkaOWe7WvnJ2PlfaAtcPCqQozYtdc7z8FBb9yZOXe90C69PJWPv6WSvXq1Ac1hMiAI3Og/s1600/spring-fashion-trends-2011-4.jpg" /></a></div><b><br /></b><br /><b>5. The All-Day Pajama Party -</b> We're not sure how practical it is, but we really, really loved all the many plays on pajama dressing, from Karen Walker's sleepy-time head-to-toe look to Suno's slouchy dotted silk trousers.<span id="goog_1128088464"></span><span id="goog_1128088465"></span><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiiBGcQampYFqEGU2u0_DQ8Owr9tMtxod0lj-jFU30nHWB9rwF1s5ORXYhX-A0CJ4sKeMNus1Xd6_RHXvre5DhCVnM91Gl3SWbHQxkhE8hrMjt6zEtqabn0TnPNkd5cUrxZsXmLehtwf7U/s1600/spring-fashion-trends-2011-5.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiiBGcQampYFqEGU2u0_DQ8Owr9tMtxod0lj-jFU30nHWB9rwF1s5ORXYhX-A0CJ4sKeMNus1Xd6_RHXvre5DhCVnM91Gl3SWbHQxkhE8hrMjt6zEtqabn0TnPNkd5cUrxZsXmLehtwf7U/s1600/spring-fashion-trends-2011-5.jpg" /></a></div><br /><b>6. The Old-School Halter Neck - </b>Something about the many appearances of gorgeous halter-necks and unusual necklace-like cinching methods reminded us of a certain someone's mom from her very glamorous summer days spent by the sea in Ibiza. Almost universally paired with long, languid summer gowns, this little detail yielded lots of impact.<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjcOb6ZLbgK-VLBQfJlhtP8ppI-13TNHSkMsD0wrOTeY31f18EDJ6WdHInEuo32zslCKu-uBrJk-LTaSWiZOqJvgepRBhjmqXu3y734U4SjwmInE17DqT2jnt_waSAI2bMpaghMn1iGltY/s1600/spring-fashion-trends-2011-6.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjcOb6ZLbgK-VLBQfJlhtP8ppI-13TNHSkMsD0wrOTeY31f18EDJ6WdHInEuo32zslCKu-uBrJk-LTaSWiZOqJvgepRBhjmqXu3y734U4SjwmInE17DqT2jnt_waSAI2bMpaghMn1iGltY/s1600/spring-fashion-trends-2011-6.jpg" /></a></div><b><br /></b><br /><b>7. Another Study In Neutrals -</b> Maybe it's Phoebe Philo's influence at Céline permeating everyone's mood-boards, or perhaps it's just the chaotic energy out there in the world that's driving designers to simplify their palettes, but spring was no stranger to neutrals-especially those warm and soothing shades of sand, camel, and ivory all nicely framed with dark swipes of black.<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhbVv7jkjuiu7Cfd6wGvng3hHbb5cEKOsGfsArD7rOmDeLd3jM2gZkFMC8V_8ZpKCZ1oJjHFgKXzjLcraB-IDPqoKcsOc4kA-4C4tYHjiP8qKjq67JtUSwvdQU3IA37KKp4RYnUOiBnao8/s1600/spring-fashion-trends-2011-7.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhbVv7jkjuiu7Cfd6wGvng3hHbb5cEKOsGfsArD7rOmDeLd3jM2gZkFMC8V_8ZpKCZ1oJjHFgKXzjLcraB-IDPqoKcsOc4kA-4C4tYHjiP8qKjq67JtUSwvdQU3IA37KKp4RYnUOiBnao8/s1600/spring-fashion-trends-2011-7.jpg" /></a></div><br /><b>8. Long and Longer -</b> Again, instead of showing more skin-during a season that loves a lot of it!-designers like Prabal Gurung, Rag & Bone, and Tommy Hilfiger all chose to show less with lots longer skirt and dress lengths. Skimming the floor with knee-high slits or sheer fabrics, these ankle-grazing styles gave the season a much more grown-up, almost serious appeal.<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi9sNXg9prlDWrPSibzn9CJJzK49OoHpZS3eXvlMAwQMrb_Bs1LG7Ldn-X19hU2fIAzVerMYX569D8SUAYQAfXwYu7g7loPozEJuhQB1nWWhfbKV2vYlLOg0TUbpOm5JxPw36Ma9NQFiK8/s1600/spring-fashion-trends-2011-8.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi9sNXg9prlDWrPSibzn9CJJzK49OoHpZS3eXvlMAwQMrb_Bs1LG7Ldn-X19hU2fIAzVerMYX569D8SUAYQAfXwYu7g7loPozEJuhQB1nWWhfbKV2vYlLOg0TUbpOm5JxPw36Ma9NQFiK8/s1600/spring-fashion-trends-2011-8.jpg" /></a></div><br /><b>9. The Prettiest Chartreuse Ever -</b> No shade seems to garner as much controversy as chartreuse. No, it's not for everyone, but thanks to Miuccia Prada back in the day, we're occasionally introduced to this somber green shade in surprisingly chic ways. And such was the case this season, when designers like Rodarte, Jason Wu, and VPL all ventured into chartreuse territory with abandon...and wonderful results.<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEijdoK0A3jNStjqNddYVj8Bebu7EkNCqD12bNx9nQe1347lu97kYXMFPwG85mCz8-4j3xmfMVDBpzRE_p_6eNk_QwkvUsscXfD_R6Kz1yHk-0bBvrzYgrevlkPDtRTOp-H02XSQxAzp6hc/s1600/spring-fashion-trends-2011-9.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEijdoK0A3jNStjqNddYVj8Bebu7EkNCqD12bNx9nQe1347lu97kYXMFPwG85mCz8-4j3xmfMVDBpzRE_p_6eNk_QwkvUsscXfD_R6Kz1yHk-0bBvrzYgrevlkPDtRTOp-H02XSQxAzp6hc/s1600/spring-fashion-trends-2011-9.jpg" /></a></div><br /><b>10. Dolman Sleeves, Please - </b>Blouses have been gravitating to fuller, boxier, cropped cuts for some time now, so it was no surprise to see so many designers playing around with even fuller silhouettes and classic dolman sleeves. Some of the blouses we saw referenced vintage surf hoodies, while others felt very modern and almost evening-like. Our favorites: Yigal Azrouël and Vena Cava, who managed to give this typically casual piece an old Hollywood sophistication. We loved!<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEguH_ncSBTMHOpF-jaa4GBj8P5bOsq1ryNgOoMbetiXVE7zEtBE0U2PopN5gjIV7T_bdnM-rOEkkTOxrUKR_gGZ1h1QsWg1tdotQvqdsihCb9M-cTVWLTzkegBzOvG6HsOdUP_k2FlDPk0/s1600/spring-fashion-trends-2011-10.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEguH_ncSBTMHOpF-jaa4GBj8P5bOsq1ryNgOoMbetiXVE7zEtBE0U2PopN5gjIV7T_bdnM-rOEkkTOxrUKR_gGZ1h1QsWg1tdotQvqdsihCb9M-cTVWLTzkegBzOvG6HsOdUP_k2FlDPk0/s1600/spring-fashion-trends-2011-10.jpg" /></a></div><br /><br />Source: http://www.refinery29.com</div>

Runway Fashion - Marc Jacobs Spring 2010-11

<span style="font-size: small;"><b><span style="font-size: large;">INSPIRATION</span>: Sir Jacobs always derived inspiration from a variety of sources for his collections. This season was no exception. Today he riffed off of deconstructed ballerinas from Russia with a tinge of Martha Graham thrown in for good measure. (Given the powder white faces of the models and their flat wooden sandal footwear, we also think said dancers might have been on their way to Asia.</b></span><br /><span style="font-size: small;"><b><br /></b></span><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhdw4XdR5416JgVXv07uq1NFTx5qQOhb2D8yXAqSoNm1-7UiU9WwOjnJXD2_2hCIJNoM3tDj_7T3I2TvyjVx-NlVmF_w1ZY9IfPmaR9Z3AZek9E5x5HyjmEKITjcf5YKQ-b7IRastariLOn/s1600/Marc-Jacobs-Spring-2010-11.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhdw4XdR5416JgVXv07uq1NFTx5qQOhb2D8yXAqSoNm1-7UiU9WwOjnJXD2_2hCIJNoM3tDj_7T3I2TvyjVx-NlVmF_w1ZY9IfPmaR9Z3AZek9E5x5HyjmEKITjcf5YKQ-b7IRastariLOn/s640/Marc-Jacobs-Spring-2010-11.jpg" width="426" /></a></div><span style="font-size: small;"><b></b></span><br /><a name="more"></a><span style="font-size: small;"><b><br /></b></span><br /><span style="font-size: small;"><b><br /></b></span><br /><span style="font-size: small;"><b><span>Beautiful Fitted army jacket with ruffled mini skirt;  blush-colored mini dress with floral applique; pale handkerchief hem  dresses with red print and dangling pearls; translucent tulle gown with  black piping <strong><br /><br /><span style="font-size: large;">ACCESSORIES</span>:</strong> Messenger bags in  brown leather; oversized handbags in a metallic bronze hue; kitten heel  flip-flops; aforementioned flat wooden sandals<br /><strong><br /><span style="font-size: large;">WHO WAS THERE</span>: </strong></span><span style="font-size: small;"><span><strong>Emma </strong>, Madonna, Lady Gaga, Rihanna every fashion editor known to mankind, internet sensations</span></span></b><b><span><br /><strong><br /><span style="font-size: large;">WHAT WE THOUGHT</span>:</strong>  One never knows what's going to come around the corner at Jacobs' show -  starting with the entrance. There was no ornate backdrop this season  but instead everyone was ushered into an extremely bright white plaster  cube with bench seating (read: everyone is in the front row except for  those with standing tickets.<br /><br />Once the techotronic boom of the  speakers sounded off the collective was treated to models wearing sheer  spangled stockings and body suits under their ruffled minis and ornately  decorated dresses. And that's not wear the ruffles ended. High  harlequin-esque collars adorned a multitude of ensembles as did chunky  summer scarves.<br /><br />Aside from the impressive dresses, the  utilitarian-style jackets were standouts. Sharply cut and totally  flattering they came in shades of blue (as seen here), tan, and army  green. Those were the more wearable items, others, like the black  lattice suit, not so much. But then again with two equally  fashion-forward icons of pop in the audience one never knows.</span></b></span>
