New York's Spring 2015 Fashion week just past and every fashion magazine and website is highlighting the their favorites. I thought we could do the same. I picked out the looks that appealed to me and gathered them up here. I think several of these could easily translate to tween fashion.
Don't you?
A few designers were using gingham which is such a classic Spring/Summer fabric and is used for children clothes all the time. I love how Diane von Furstenburg had such tailored pieces and pops of colored flowers that made this picnic fabric classy
Oscar de la Renta also was using gingham with stunningly beautiful floral prints and cutouts.
As one would expect for Spring and Oscar de la Renta big floral prints were prevalent. An de la Renta used those large floral prints in neat tailored pieces.
Shear fabrics were also prevalent in several collections. Now, when translating high fashion to tweens, one always has to be careful to make adjustments that are age appropriate. And sheer fabrics obviously can easily translate as sexy. But, as you can see, these fashions use layers and I think that could be played with in order to make tween fashion with these flowing or cut out sheers.
I personally just loved this look. I think it is ho it exudes cool and still has a fun blue pocket.
We don't choose to show bellies in my family but that does not mean we can't appreciate a crop top trend. They are cute for layering or with a high-waisted pant too.
Participating in these trends could be as simple as fabric choices. But, to get some of the looks, the right pattern needs to be found. So, I thought we could have a little linky party that you all could link patterns or fabrics that you think would work. I ask that in your title, you state what trend you think that item matches.
I just bought some of that black check gingham/plaid type of fabric from the first picture. :)
