Spring Summer 2011 Fashion Trends: Must-Have Ones!

Derek Lam

1970s’ fashion

Bianca Jagger is your role model for spring 2011 fashion. Fluid ’70s mean sweeping floor-length stunners (maxi skirt, maxi dress), disco miniskirts, crop tops and wide-legged, flared trousers most commonly with a high-waisted cut.

Alexander McQueen

Feathers and fringing

Decorative feather-trimmed dresses echo the old time Hollywood vogue (they are so lusciously classy!!!). I don’t imagine wearing feathers during the day. Glamorous feather gowns and dresses are dedicated to sophisticated parties and proms.

Prabal Gurung

Citrus brights

Colours pop in spring 2011 fashion. Beautifully bright shades are mixed and matched with rainbow hues. Honeysuckle pink, cheerful marigold or a pantone blue curacao? Why not, sky is the limit!

Stella McCartney

Eclectic prints

Mixed and matched eclectic prints went into arresting series and caused a fashion frenzy. Polka-dotts, plaids, paisley, florals, animal print, stripes and even…fruits! Prepare a serious dose of confidence and wear them all at once.

Emilio Pucci

Folklore

Get your memories back to a countryside where you used to spend holidays. Capture the nature with a delicate yet not naive cut-out detailing, floral prints, lace, crochet and macrame. Arts-and-crafts is the keyword.

Burberry Prorsum

Punk fashion / biker chic

Military (AKA combat) style gets reinvented for the season. Choose: punk-rock edge featuring leather, ripped stockings, studs and safely pins versus biker chic with zipped sleeves, quilting detailing and leather pants. Heavy boots are extra.

Donna Karan

Pajamas

A sister of the “underwear as outerwear” trend as seen in spring 2010. Inspired with 1990s’, string tie pants, silk jammies, kimonos, sarongs and other types of underpinnings are all the way to white and pastel. Sheer minimalism.
