Trends of Fashion Week Spring 2009

The Mercedes Benz New York Fashion Week of Spring 2009 has sadly concluded, and what an amazing week it was. We saw lines from the world’s top designers, from Oscar de la Renta to Vera Wang. This season, we saw many fashion trends, a few being bold, brilliant prints, vibrant colors, and the always fashionable little black dress.

I have chosen two collections to write overviews on, Marc Jacobs and Miss Sixty. Marc Jacobs Spring collection consisted of many colors, patterns, layers that could be worn with virtually anything other piece in his collection, over the top accessories that worked perfectly, and hats with every piece. I noticed he used a lot of plaid, metallic, and paten leather, some even had metallic plaid.

Miss Sixty’s Spring collection compared to Marc Jacobs’ is a lot more girly and less elegant, focusing on sexiness. Some things you see in the collection are vibrant prints, plaid, and very baggy pants. What I love about Miss Sixty is that I could see every single piece from his collection being worn on the street by the most fashionable of women. I just wish they made clothes for men.
