The month of January always brings round one of the biggest events in the fashion industry especially for designers and clients alike. It marks the beginning of Fashion Week where designers showcase their latest collections on the most glamorous runways. From Paris to Milan. Fashion Week manages to forecast trends for the different seasons.
Here are some of the trends straight off the Fashion Week Runways.
Geometric Prints. Unlike last years’ very floral prints, this year the prints have gone Geometric. Bold, colorful prints with a hint of Asian style and cut have been incorporated into so many designers runway collections, but I must say that Mary Katrantzou had the most gorgeous assembly of prints in her collection and they worked beautifully.

Sheer beauty. Sheer slowly picked up late last year and designers don’t seem to get enough of it. The display of sheer creations on the runway was simply beautiful and to die for especially the embellished sheer collections.

Christian Dior S/S12 |
Embellishments. If you are a fan of glitter, sequins and all things beautiful, you will love this year’s runway collections. Gowns embellished with floral appliques, glass and feathers were bountiful on the runway proving that every girl no matter how old can enjoy a little bit of shine and shimmer.

White on White. This primary color has made its mark as one of the IT colors for this season. Models walked the runways in snowy white creations from head to toe almost making it a winter wonderland.

Sorbet Colors. Bright bold colors were really huge last season and still appeared in some of this year’s Fashion Week collections. What I loved most was the display of cool sorbet colors on the runway making it a welcome sight for really sore eyes.
