Mad for Missoni

Instead of my usual ‘commandments of dressing’ post I will instead be writing about a family driven brand that also happens to be celebrating their 60th anniversary this year! Missoni is an Italian fashion house that is known best for their colorful knitwear and quite an illustrious history.

On Your Mark, Get Set, GO!

Sport inspired trends have been around since S/S '12 (influenced by the Olympic events), through the form of wedge sneakers, anoraks with drawstring details, perforated leather and mesh as well as tapered sweat pants - so bomb. With the spring-summer season approaching, sports has no sign of slowing down it's presence in the fashion world (especially with the Russian Sochi Olympics coming up in 2014). This time around it's taking shape through wedge sneakers, varsity jackets and drawstring trousers with racing stripes. 

Here is a round up of my favorite athletic looks from the Spring/Summer runways! 

It's a Sheer Thing

Since it's appearance on Fall 2011 runways, sheers have been in the fore front of many closets. I have no doubt they will be around for the next while, especially with the oncoming spring micro trend - sheer paneling. We can expect to see this beloved trend to take a playful and alluring turn. Here are some looks off the spring 2013 runway from Preen's RTW collection, along with a collection of lust worthy items to help you move into the new season with style! 

Winter White

To whomever said "no white after labor day" was missing out on the magic of winter whites! I've always been a fan of wearing white year long, so I'm glad it has recently made a resurgence. (Forecast alert! All white ensembles will be on-trend for Spring '13). Check out this sublime Emilio Pucci Spring RTW 2013 collection for perfect whites, sheer paneling  and Japanese influences - two additional trends that will be dominating come spring time.  

One of my favorite looks from the show! So fresh and clean.
