New York Fashion Week. Just the phrase leaves most of the fashion-conscientious salivating. The oh-so-exclusive, week-long event where designers showcase their selection for the next season (in this case, Spring 2012) has come and gone.
Didn’t get the NYFW invite? No worries, S.W.A.G is here with a wrap up of all the trends:
Yellow is the color of Spring 2012. All shades of yellow, but most common is a pale vanilla yellow.

Metallics like gold and silver are huge, especially in dresses.

Bright lipstick red, like Mad Men lipstick red. On coats, dresses, everything and anything.

White Lace also made many appearances.

Long layers of flowy material (even on the shortest dresses).

Neutral furs (light grey) and white feathers.

The sporty look is in. Many outfits were mainly black or white with bold, chunky lines up the sides.

Lots of patterns — polka dots, plaid, floras, you name it.

Make-up was strong (pearlescent colors or strong black) on the eyes with bright lips.
