Spring style will be dresses, color and details
After a season of gray, expect spring fashions to pop in technicolor. The runways were awash with color, from candy-hued magentas and yellows to muted shades of blush pink, light tan and dusty blue. It’s a far cry from the gray that dominated the fall lines. Sunny yellow and candylike pink and blue created the palette for Miss Sixty (where the skinny jean lives on), while standouts at Bill Blass came in blush-colored silk-satin and gunmetal silk organza.
At Nicole Miller, stained-glass prints and earthy colors dominated. Donna Karan showed a graffiti print in hot pink for her DKNY line, while Michael Kors took on a disco theme. Kors’ collection featured sunny gold, as did those of Proenza Schouler and Ralph Lauren. Michael Fink, fashion director at Saks Fifth Avenue, said it wasn’t yet clear what the big color story will be: candy-colored brights, subdued cosmetics colors or black and white.
The only mistake, he said, would be to wear any of them head to toe.
