10 Top Trends from Spring 2011 Fashion Week

New York Fashion Week ends today, and some key trends have emerged. Coming out of the subdued funk of blacks and grays we saw last year, designers have brightened up considerably. We’re seeing a lot of white, be it strong ensembles accented with a crisp shot of black, as seen at Elise Overland, or the loose, shimmering, flowing whites at Alexander Wang and Richard Chai Love. While Wang favored unstructured silhouettes, other designers, such as Ruffian, tended toward tailoring, but paired men’s style trousers with sheer blouses in soft prints. Prints continue to play a big part in the fashion landscape, from tiny florals to looser watercolor designs, as well as scribbles and animal prints on dresses, tops, and pants. The global influence still looms large, with all sorts of ethnic patterning and pairing from plenty of designers, including Suno and Rachel Comey. Finally, we haven’t seen the last of the ‘80s; this time around, it’s the crop top.

Last spring's ethnic print trend is making an appearance for 2011, too.. But this time around, designers like Vivienne Tam (shown, photo by Frazer Harrison/Getty Images for IMG), Suno and Diane von Furstenberg referenced not just African tribal prints, but patterns from all over the world.

Animal Prints

Black & White

Black and white is always a popular (and flattering) combo. For spring, designers like DKNY (shown, photo by Stephen Lovekin/Getty Images for IMG), Elise Overland and Carmen Marc Valco made it at times romantic and at times, crip and mod.
