# 10 the retro sneaker trend

the retro sneaker trend is something that is rapidly coming back in style. This style comes from the 90's and it was adapted from the basketball , primarily because of Michael Jordan. Now walking down the street of New York City you will meany boy and even girls wearing these basketball sneakers. The first picture is of Chris Brown at a New York Knicks game. the second picture is a paparazzi shot of Rihanna.                                  

New fashion Formats

 Nowadays everyone wants to step out the box and be different.Every fall and spring designers work so hard to come up with new ideas and  make their fashion shows a success.  For Spring/Summer 2012, Chanel did an extravagant Haute couture collection. All the models wore some type of blue and they all had their hair spiky. No one does a fashion show better than Chanel,  the run way looked like a  futuristic airplane. It had jet blue lighting and the whole setting narrow looking. however it was cool because Chanel always introduces a new way to put on the fashion show.

#8 fashion look books

Picture one is a page from Dylan Paul Moran Taverner fall 2012 look book . Picture 2 comes from Oliver Borde look book for this season.

#7 TRUNK SHOW- OSCAR DE LA RENTA

 A Trunk Show is a showcase of upcoming garments from the designer current season collection. They are displayed in a showroom for retailers and sometimes customers. They are allowed to try on the garments and purchase them.  Above is a video from Oscar de la Renta trunk show at Nordstrom. In the Interview with Gregg Andrews (fashion creative director of Nordstrom) he explains how the trunk show works and how buyers proceed to putting chosen garments in stores. I really like the blue and black strapless gown that was shown at 4:50.

#6 TORY BURCH FALL 2012 RUNWAY

      So I came to the conclusion that one  the Tory Burch fall collection is one of my favorites. She always brings something fresh and classy with a twist. i love that she always brings out a unordinary color every season. I find her garments and shoes to be very adaptable to every age group, which I think is fascinating.  

        I really liked the hair and make up for this show i thought it was retro and classy . I thought that it was clever she brought back out the french roll, because I remember seeing my mom with that hair style in the 90's. She had this cute concept of "The nice girl, who meets the wrong guy". It was a good idea being that it gave understanding to the colors she used . There were the basic black, and neutrals . I also saw some dark fuchsia , blues and greens, with a splash of red.

#4 TRICKLE UP/DOWN

 The article i selected was written by Eric Nelson february 14,2012. He was giving his insights on the Vera wang fall collections that caused alot of controversy. I actually liked the two looks that were futuredin the article; the first one being my favorite. i thought it was funny Jean Rivers was outside assaulting guest after the show, while flipping out her sheriff badge.
