From<br \/>\nflorals and flappers to pastels and prints, Spring 2012 is bound to be one of<br \/>\nthe most sumptuously elegant seasons to date!<\/p>\n<p>Springtime is synonymous with flowers, so it was no surprise to see flower clad models strutting down Ralph Lauren, Louis Vuitton and Dolce &amp; Gabbana\u2019s runways. Pretty dresses adorned in flowery appliqu\u00e9 were big! These fancy, frosted flowers are feminine and girly. Looking to blossom out in floral prints at school? Go for a floral bustier top, skinny jeans and statement rosette ring!<\/p>\n<p>Drop waisted skirts, flapper fringes and feathers were big on<br \/>\nthe runways from Ralph Lauren, Gucci and Marc Jacobs. The trend is no shocker<br \/>\nwith the remake of <em>The Great Gatsby <\/em>coming out in December. I\u2019m thinking 1920s fashion is going to be big until Christmas! Sequins and stripes mingle with frosted pinks and the results are utter perfection. It was Ralph Lauren in particular who nailed down the luxurious essence of the \u201920s with sequin-clad dresses, feathery fringes and an overall Art Deco vibe. <em>The Gatsby<\/em> trend is big, bold and beautiful for Spring!<\/p>\n<p>Versace and Chanel dove under the sea for their Spring 2012<br \/>\ncollections and the results were stunning! Aqua blue, pearl encrusted clutches,<br \/>\nflowing dresses and shimmering gowns prove that watery beginnings are where<br \/>\nstyle for Spring is at. The sea shore theme embodies femininity, fantasy and a<br \/>\nmythological vibe. Emulate the look with something as simple as a pearl necklace, or something as dramatic as a sequin and seashell encrusted evening gown. There is something incredibly alluring about the mermaid trend, and there is something about it that is impossible not to love.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s a safari! Daring tribal prints and patterns roared down<br \/>\nthe runways from Burberry, Michael Kors and Donna Karan. Sporty swimsuits,<br \/>\nlightweight leopard-printed tunics and fitted utilitarian jackets are fierce<br \/>\nfor Spring. We love the way this out of Africa vibe is chic and<br \/>\nfashion-forward. From tunics to dresses and everything in between, this hot<br \/>\ntrend promises to keep you cool. This hip, urban take on safari style is<br \/>\nundeniably edgy. The bold use of earthy hues, geometric patterns and<br \/>\nanimalistic stylishness equals a look that is totally tribal.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Annie Robinson Spring 2012 is a promising season of pretty and posh style.\u00a0 Extraordinary designers presented beautiful runway shows, and everyone from Michael Kors to Chanel was debuting hot, new trends you don\u2019t want to leave the house without emulating. &hellip; <a href=\"https:\/\/graffiti.ntci.on.ca\/2011-12\/spring-2012-issue\/arts-and-culture\/spring-2012-runway-trends\/\">Continue reading <span class=\"meta-nav\">&rarr;<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"parent":894,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-930","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/graffiti.ntci.on.ca\/2011-12\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/930","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/graffiti.ntci.on.ca\/2011-12\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/graffiti.ntci.on.ca\/2011-12\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/graffiti.ntci.on.ca\/2011-12\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/graffiti.ntci.on.ca\/2011-12\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=930"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/graffiti.ntci.on.ca\/2011-12\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/930\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":931,"href":"https:\/\/graffiti.ntci.on.ca\/2011-12\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/930\/revisions\/931"}],"up":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/graffiti.ntci.on.ca\/2011-12\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/894"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/graffiti.ntci.on.ca\/2011-12\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=930"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
