Alexander Wang SS2010
Looking at some of the key trends for spring/summer 2010, I began to wonder if in fact the old adage that one must suffer for beauty was a thing of that past.
Alexander Wang SS2010
Alexander Wang was a particular front runner for the trend, sending his models down the catwalk in a variety of sporty styles, from modern takes on traditional all-American styles like the classic sweatshirt to the far more risky tracksuit bottom/ heels combination, a bold look on the catwalk but admittedly one that could spell potential disaster when it is inevitably replicated on the high street.
Proenza Schouler SS2010
Generally the concept of ‘sporty’ style may immediately conjure up images of adidas clad teenagers and suburban shopping malls, however it seems that this season the sporty look not only goes luxe – as demonstrated by the athletic glamour of Proenza schouler’s acid brights.
Lacoste SS2010
Lacoste, Hermes and Rochas all demonstrated a softer, more classical take on the trend. The oversized, cricket-jumper style dresses shown at Lacoste offering a more grown-up alternative to the day-glow patterns and spandex cycling shorts which may understandably strike fear into the hearts of fashionista’s everywhere.
Kenzo SS2010
It was not only the sport-inspired looks which hailed the start of a new era in which one can both look fabulous and feel at ease whilst wearing the most up to the minute styles.
For spring/summer 2010 designers are offering a variety of twists on this less restrictive trouser style, ranging from ballooning styles in a tribal print at Kenzo
Balmain SS2010
To cargo pants at Balmain, worn with a slouchy ripped T shirt, still stylish but easy to wear.
Louis Vuitton Kitten Heels SS2010
It seems that we even have the option of choosing comfortable footwear over the sky scraper heels that have been the sartorial staple of the fashionable modern woman for so long.
Prada SS2010
The stiletto has not, nor ever probably will be considered passé, however judging by the mass of kitten heels, clogs, wedges and mid-height-heels that paraded the catwalks at Chanel, Miu Miu, Prada, Louis Vuitton and others.
