The 80’s have seemingly been this season’s biggest trend, as elements from the decade have popped up in every city throughout fashion month. In New York, color seemed to play the biggest role on the runway, and many designers like Marc Jacobs, Carolina Herrera, and Adam Selman opted for vibrant, 80’s inspired hues as opposed to subtle neutrals. At Tibi, a collection inspired by cities and architecture, featured bright orange, yellow, and blue, all in oversized, relaxed silhouettes. Jeremy Scott, who is often influenced by the 80’s decade, showed a sci-fi inspired collection featuring tracksuits, neon accessories, and puffer jackets in bold colors and metallic finishes.

This most recent New York Fashion Week came with newly revived trends from the 80’s and early 90’s, complete with accentuated shoulders, off-the-shoulder tops, voluminous silhouettes, and plenty of ruffles. A standout trend from this category though, was the classic power suit, revamped. With the rise of androgyny on the runway over the past few years, this is not a surprising direction for brands to embark upon. Designers like Calvin Klein, Vivienne Tam, and Jason Wu all showed versions of the menswear-inspired suit look, each with its own unique styling.
Amy Smilovic of Tibi included pinstripe blazers in an extra-oversized fit, while more classically tailored pieces in monochromatic styling appeared on the runway at The Row. At Nicole Miller, edgy, grunge inspired suiting was featured in the collection, complimented by graphic embroidery and dark, smudged eye makeup.

From our friends at thefind.com:
While it’s a total bummer to say goodbye to summer, there’s still plenty of reason to celebrate the start of fall… when it comes to trends, that is! Now that the weather is starting to cool down, it’s time to embrace previously taboo textiles like wool – specifically tweed! Cropped tweed trousers may have been totally unwearable during the hotter summer months, but they could easily be your autumn go-to staple for making a chic statement at work that’s still comfortable and effortlessly cool. Pair with some chunky wedge booties for fall or your favorite printed flats, or elongate legs with some pointed toe pumps. These fresh-for-fall styles put a new spin on the traditionally “stuffy” material (so long to stiff jackets and suits!), but when wearing slouchier styles be sure to stay mindful of proportions by pairing with a more tailored or streamlined top to avoid looking sloppy!

Tibi

Clean, understated, and menswear-inspired was Tibi’s new modus operandi for S/S 2012. The models strutted their stuff to the rock classic “The Destroyer” by The Kinks, with fresh faces and hair pulled back in low, no fuss ponytails. With a color palette of mint greens, mustard, teals, cobalt, and bright yellow, the line shouted spring excitement without the usual signature Tibi-style prints and florals. Designed by Amy Smilovic and styled by blogger Elin Kling, the collection came equipped with long skirts and dresses, and menswear style pants and trousers in flowing chiffon, with the occasional leather accents. It shouted, and resounded effortlessly cool.
Diesel Black Gold
As the program exclaimed, it was “time to reflect” at the Diesel Black Gold ready-to-wear show yesterday at Pier 94. Light and reflection was an integral part of the show, from elements such as the dangling mirrored panels at the runway’s entrance to the glimmering, silver, “not-quite-positive if they’re leather or glass material” many of the pieces possessed. What you were sure of, though, was the essence of utility, beauty, and fluidity that emanated from each piece. Sophia Kokosalaki designed many of the outfits with accents of menswear-inspired sleekness, like clean jackets and crisp tailored shirts, but simultaneously fused them with elements of intense sparkle and light, and movement-seeking fabrics. With additions of hardware and spiked, mirrored pieces, the result was sleek and utilitarian, but attention grabbing and light-catching nonetheless. It was this combination of functionality, originality, and beauty that complimented Diesel’s put together yet undone mantra.
