Cream
Jumper: Elizabeth and
James
Designers
couldn't get enough of it. It’s less harsh then white for a softer look.
Elizabeth and James got it right with this jumper too the perfect
feminine/masculine.
Off the Shoulder
Dress: Bcbg
There was a
lot of falling off the shoulder, asymmetrical shoulder cuts and just plain off
the shoulder dresses. Trade a plunging neck for some shoulder exposure. This
spring Bcbg collection is flowy and simple.
Abstract
Prints
Dress: 3.1 Phillip
Lim
Abstract
prints and Mod are two peas in a pod. I would definitely say 60’s are going to
be influencing our Spring.
Metallics
Dress: Dion Lee
Another trend
that seems to be resurfacing season after season is Metallics. I love the Modern
feel of this Dress without it being to shiny.
Garden Party
Florals
Dress: Altuzarra
Spring is
about color and flowers and there be Spring Florals to the end of time. Some
designers leaned in a more oriental floral bouquet, while others did not. I love
the color of this Altuzarra.
Mod
Dress: Victoria Beckham
I cannot get
enough of this trend. It plays in with the abstract prints. Groovy.
Tied Waist Sash
Dress: DVF
So much of this was on the runways.
Almost all dresses were paired with a tied side sash like this with hanging
ends. Love this DVF style!
Arctic Blue
Dress: Badgley
Mischka
Love this icy
blue color and it was all over the runways. My first buy for this will be a pair
of trousers.
Crop Tops
Shirt and Pants: Donna
Karan
They were
here this year and they'll be here the next. Multiple designers kept this style
in their Spring 2015 looks. Donna Karen had some of my favorites.
Shirt Dresses
Dress: Versus
Versace
The Shirt
Dress, simple and sexy. Easy to throw and casual. Pair it with a belt and some
booties.
Sporty
Pants and Jacket: Alexander
Wang
No one does
sporty like Alexander Wang. Think sneakers, tennis skirts and bold colors. So
Street Chic.
Coolots
Pants and Crop: Mara
Hoffman
Coolots? I
know. I mean seriously how comfortable do those look though? If you’re shorter I
would wear with heels if you taller try with sandals for a laid back look.
Accordion Pleats
Skirt and Shirt: Zimmerman
Pleats were rocked all over the
Runways. Zimmerman created my favorite version of pleats. They were bold and
structured. Alexander Wang pleats came in the version of tennis looking skirts
and dresses. Either way you'll be seeing them. About Nikole

Spring 2015 Top Trends from
Christie Maruka
Spring 2015
had some stunning and very wearable trends. Some of the most popular trends on
the runway were the following:
Crop Tops,
Full skirts, high -waisted trousers, culottes, trench coats, Utilitarian vests
and jackets, fluid drape dresses, Bohemian silhouettes, sheer fabrics, quilted
pieces, cinched waists, lots of slouchy trends, ruffles and lace , shirt dresses
and cape gowns..
There are so
many designers to list, but here are some of my favorite designer shows I
attended:
First was
BCBG by Max Azria, whose line was stunning with lots of drape dresses, abstract
floral prints, and bohemian silhouettes. Classic, enduring fabrications were
modernized and softened for comfortable chic. Beautiful pastel colors, lending
a sun-bleached softness to this collection.. Always a favorite for me.
Marissa
Webb, (creative director for Banana Republic) presented a mix of flowy-feminine
mini-dresses topped with cargo vests, cool shirt dresses and great revamps of
the classic trench.
Carmen Marc
Valvo modern and clean, plunging necklines, playful pantsuits and sheer
over-skirts. Valvo knows how to flatter a woman's figure.
Nicole Miller
who played with a lot of ruffles, sewing them onto hems of skinny skirts and
stretchy body con dresses and plenty of enticing tropical and floral prints.
Tadashi Shoji
showed floor length skirts with crop tops, illusion backs on gowns, plenty of
shirt dresses and trench coats, dresses with embroidery and stunning cape
gowns.
Zimmerman by Nicky Zimmerman, a
new line for me and absolutely gorgeous. Her collection was light and airy,
lacy, layered slip dresses, wide-legged trousers with sexy off the shoulder
men’s shirting, skirts with extended layers of ruffles, cinched-trench vests,
and amazing swimwear too nice to swim in!
Mara Hoffman
who came out with a softer direction this season pairing natural fabrics and a
muted color palette. Featuring rainbow slip dresses, cutouts, sunbursts and
striped motif on swimwear, slacks, maxi dresses and Relaxed Woven shirt and
trouser sets.
More of my
favorite shows, Calvin Klein, Betsey Johnson, Trina Turk, Mark & Estel,
Carolina Herrera, Altuzarra & Angel Sanchez.
One of the
best moments of attending Fashion week is the inspiration I find on the streets
of the most glamorous, high fashion city in the Country...NYC! Since we can't
wear the clothes being shown on the runway right now, we sure can wear the
clothes I spotted on the streets... as we call it "street
style".
We hope you have enjoyed this glimpse of Spring 2015 fashion.
