Spring 2010 - Fashion Week Roundup.

Both New York and London's Fashion Weeks came to a close recently and with them came a slew of new trends to look out for in the new year (which is only 3 months away!!). Since I could not be there to cover the shows in person, I've been following them on my trusty iPhone Style.com app and on men.style.com. Now that all the shows and pictures have been updated, I'll take you through just a few of my favorite looks for Spring 2010.
Moschino
I know I've previously done a post about Moschino's Spring 2010 looks but just look at them....they're perfect!! If I could wear these clothes for the rest of my life, I would. Let me tell you what I like about them.
Michael Bastian
I'll admit it right now, I'm no fashion expert. I've never claimed to be, I never will be. I think of myself as the ever-evolving fashion student.....as I think we all should. We must always be willing to learn and re-learn. Michael Bastian is sort of the new American classic. Just when we thought "All-American" was rugby shirts, khakis and Sperry's, Michael Bastian's 2010 line proves us all wrong. Although his Spring 2010 line seems to be slightly south-of-the-border-inspired, there a plenty of American elements that bring it right back home. The shorts, the sneakers, the sportcoats and blazers; one of my favorite elements from his collection, the gloves [which were featured on more than the one picture I chose]. While it's not a main article of clothing, sometimes the accessory really makes the entire outfit come together.
Louis Vuitton
While most people think of Louis Vuitton as solely a handbag or luggage retailer, the design house, currently under the supervision of Marc Jacobs, also is home to a very lucrative clothing line. Personally, I was only fond of a select few of the looks in their entirety. My interest in this show was in some of the individual pieces offered up by LV. Jackets in particular, along with shoes, sweaters and various other things. I was, however, definitely liking the last two complete looks.
All in all, after looking through all the designers slideshows, I've realized one thing: cropped pants (or rolled cuffs) are in. At least for Spring 2010 they are. Also, with the exception of a few (oversizes-inspired) designers, properly tailored clothing is also very prominent. Keep your eyes open for accessories that will define an outfit....and yes, it's possible; one little thing can completely set you apart from the crowd.
If you caught something that I didn't and want to blog about it, shoot me an email! We are more than happy to post reader submissions.

Whether it's their impeccable tailoring, the old-school yet fun, fresh style or the way that all their pants seem to be cropped (a shoe is a terrible thing to hide), their designs for Spring 2010, I feel, are bringing the light-heartedness back to fashion. That's something that I feel has been missing for a long time. People take it all too seriously, Moschino gets it just right.
