Spring/summer fashion trend report.

So it would seem that winter is finally beginning to fade allowing spring/summer to finally blossom and hopefully bring nice weather along with it. However, where I am from that is highly unlikely. Especially with the weather we have been having recently. Uggh, I hate it when Winter decides to stay past it's due date, don't you? Well, I must admit the winter weather is not going to stop me checking out some of the latest spring/summer fashions and trends for this year and judging by the looks of things the colors alone will be enough to brighten up my mood along with the weather.

Monochrome Checks 
The Monochrome Trend has been on the rise for quite some time now, so it's not surprising that this black and white check trend is going to be a huge hit this spring/summer season. And with this trend the bigger and bolder the better.

Pastels
Ahh the ever faithful pastels. I don't quite think it would be spring/summer without these light hue's making an appearance. Quite frankly, I love pastel shades. Especially for this season, it makes me feel quite summery and girly and I don't think you can go wrong with this trend. Honestly, every spring/summer wardrobe should have pastel shades featured in there somewhere.

Stripes
Stripes have been on the rise for quite some time now. I seem to be seeing them an awful lot more this year than I ever have. From the runways right down to the high streets. The good thing with this trend is that they can be used in so many ways. Thick and skinny, horizontal or vertical as well as mixing up the colours. I can be certain that this will be a trend to watch this season.

Crop Tops 
Once a dreaded fashion piece for those of us who didn't feel toned enough and that amount of exposure used to leave us feeling embarrassed. Yes, it's true. The infamous crop top has popped up this spring/summer for another round. However, there is something you need to know about this particular trend. See the crop top has evolved along with the modern day times and is now more sophisticated and mature, thanks to some handy work by some high class fashion designers who have been featuring this trend on their catwalks. These new style of crop tops are designed to be paired with high waisted skirts and shorts for a more lady like approach allowing this more difficult trend to be a bit more approachable.

From big screen to Fashion trends: The Host

Once the vampires dressed in gothic glam ruled the fashion runways last year to wave farewell to the hugely fantastic blockbuster Twilight saga, but now a new breed altogether is about to rule the fashion world!. Yes, Stephanie Meyer's, twilight author, "The Host" is about to hit the big screens this summer and I for one, believe it will be another massive blockbuster smash!. The Host is about a futuristic earth that is invaded by aliens, known as souls, who take over the human race. However one girls human soul refuses to cooperate with her alien host.
With the release of this new film, a new trend is about to take over this spring/summer and that is the space age style!. From Sparkling techno fabrics, clean cut lines and comic book sweatshirts, yes this trend preparing to launch any day!. Will you be apart of this futuristic new trend?

I honestly cannot wait for this movie!, so glad it got made into a movie because the novel is fantastic, I highly recommend it to anyone who has not read the novel yet!.  

New Designer to watch: Anne Sofie Madsen

Like many of the fashion bloggers out there I have been keeping a good track of New York Fashion Week, checking out some new designs from some of the worlds most famous Designers in the fashion industry but there is one designer in particular that has caught my eye and that would be Sofie Anne Madsen.

Denmark Native Anne Sofie Madsen is being featured in this years Gen art's fresh Faces in fashion as an uprising star and I couldn't agree more that she is definitely going to be a huge designer in a few years to come. For an uprising star in fashion Anne Sofie Madsen already has a very impressive resume, she attended   the Royal Danish Academy of Fine arts school of design and then went on to train under John Galliano for Dior and also worked as a junior designer for the great Alexander McQueen, so it's no wonder she is starting to create a buzz within the industry.
I managed to see some of her designs from Copenhagen Fashion week this year for her her spring/summer 2013 collection and I must admit that her designs and style completely blow me away. I have fallen in love with the way that she mixes classic vintage couture with a little bit of grunge princess incorporated through her designs. There are punked up art deco designs along with flapper girl dresses with fierce studs and spikes and everyone knows just how much I love classic vintage and studs and spikes so it's definitely no wonder that I have fallen in love with this womans collections.
Not only is she a great designer but I believe that Anne Sofie Madsen is a designer with great vision. Her collections let the audience get lost in a beautiful swirl of grey's mixed with pastels, historical pieces clearly influenced by norse mythology and viking princesses/warriors (A piece of history I am hugely interested in) and creating great designs that are both outrageous but also very contemporary and wearable. So on that note I shall leave you guys with some absoloutely breathtaking images of Anne Sofie Madsens collections at Gen art's Fresh Faces show and Copenhagen Fashion week for you to draw your on conclusions about Anne Sofie Madsen's breathtaking work.
