Full skirts. For Spring/ Summer 2011 fashion season we see the return of full skirts that used to be hot in 1970s. And while some of us do not really consider these as sexy or interesting men have quite the contrary opinion. They love watching a girl walking in a full skirt and believe such pieces look incredibly feminine. Besides, they do leave a lot to imagination.

Designs of full skirts of this season are very diverse that allows every woman choosing a piece that suits her particular figure. There are long and sheer skirts or shorter and fuller versions. And Salvatore Ferragamo offers assymetrical styles.

Wide pants. Wide pants have also come to us from the far 70s. They are comfy, stylish and often elegant. But there are plenty of more modern and youthful designs.

High-waisted wide pants. Wide leg trouser with high waist comes as one possible form of wide pants which are totally trendy in Spring/ Summer 2011 fashion season. These are seen all over the runways and are already hitting the streets.

Create the retro look with floaty tops, platforms and skinny belts and get ready for the flattering attention of your fashionista friends. Find this trend in collections of Jason Wu, Marc Jacobs, Tommy Hilfiger, Tory Burch and other designers.

Pajamas. You will be surprised to know that couturiers want us to wear pajamas as outwear this Spring/ Summer 2011. They consider it as quite comfortable to don such items outside of your boudoir. See trendy pieces in ranges by Thakoon, AOS, Topshop, Paul Smith and others.

Shorts. Shorts are comfy while being very stylish, which makes them so popular with women all over the world. In Spring/ Summer 2011 designers offer customers a great variety of shorts designs, from those ready to be worn to office to quite short and daring pairs.

Shirt-dresses. While the combination of words seems to be ridiculous the pieces of this style look very pretty on the Spring/ Summer 2011 runway. Tommy Hilfiger offers a womanly variant of the dress, Viktor & Rolf suggest trying asymmetrical design while Paul Smith sees women wearing longer mannish frocks.

Sheer fabrics. Trend for sheer fabrics has been with us for a while already. It seems that long sheer skirts are the most popular for Spring/ Summer 2011. However, one can find loads of sheer dresses, blouses and tops on the runway, too.

Lace. If you want some of your flesh to be seen through the fabric you can either go for a lace trend of Spring/ Summer 2011 fashion season. Every brand from Dolce & Gabbana to Issa offers some kind of sexy lace. Some pieces are entirely made of lace, others have tempting lace insets. It’s you who can choose what to wear though. The number of versions is huge. (See LACE AS S/S 2011 TREND.)

Maxi dresses. This type of dresses never goes out of vogue. Every fashion season we see many floor-sweeping gowns on the runway but in Spring/ Summer 2011 the number of maxis has increased significantly. Dresses have become airier, lighter, and more flowing. And majority of items come with prints.

To see maxi dresses look through Alberta Ferreti, Carolina Herrera, Gianfranco Ferre’s and other collections.

Tail dresses. Welcome the new and pretty unexpected Spring/ Summer 2011 trend – tail dresses!!! The runway abounded with tail dresses – shorter and sexier, of average length and even long and red-carpet-ready gowns.

Floral print. Just a couple of fashion seasons back we celebrated the popularity of floral print. And here it is again, more diverse than before thanks to Marc Jacobs, Carolina Herrera and Christian Dior. (See S/S 2011 FLORAL TREND.)

Leopard print. Alas and alack! But leopard print is again trendy. See how Dolce & Gabbana, Burberry Prorsum and Rebecca Taylor see the pattern incorporated into our wardrobes.

White dresses. White is always one of the most popular colors but for Spring/ Summer 2011 it is one of the hottest trends. And it is most notable on dresses, both short and long. Dresses come in minimalistic style, with frills and fringing, sheer and trimmed with lace.

Bright colors. During Spring/ Summer 2011 black and darker hues are not trendy but brighter tones are very popular. Lemon yellow and orange are the best. (See S/S 2011 COLOR TRENDS.)

Fringing. Fringe is an interesting trend. It can transform the look into a real work of art or ruin it completely. Softer version of fringing looks cute and womanly. But fringe on cowboy-inspired garments looks more brutal and tougher.

Belts. Extensive use of belts has become fashionable last season and until now belts do not lose their popularity. Wear a belt with a dress to accentuate your midriff, pair it with a skirt or trousers to finish the look, or add a piece to make the outfit more unusual.

Minimalism. While many interesting details that decorate women’s clothes have been created some ladies still prefer to wear minimalistic garments in Calvin Klein’s style. It is good time to go now as during Spring/ Summer 2011 fashion season minimalism is an essential trend.

Carey Mulligan, who was named the Best-Dressed Woman of the Year by Harper’s Bazaar magazine, opted for a gorgeous Chanel dress from the French label’s Fall/Winter Haute Couture Collection.

Gossip Girl starlet Leighton Meester looked wonderful in a custom-made Prabal Gurung dress. She was the visual proof of the fact Prabal Gurung deserved his award.

Kim Kardashian arrived at the CFDA/Vogue Fashion Fund Awards with designer Zac Posen wearing one of his fabulous designs – a floor-length blue gown with a colorful pattern in front.

Diane Von Furstenberg looked luxurious in her white knee-long dress and a fur coat over it. To finish her look the designer chose a pair of golden heels and a pretty clutch.

Pamela Love’s dress looked amazing – very feminine and sophisticated.

The Olsen sisters opted for their usual fur coats. They should definitely be more imaginative with their outfits!

Accessory designer Tory Burch also attended the ceremony of the CFDA/Vogue Fashion Fund Awards. She wore a tight-fitting floral-printed dress.

Keri Hilson’s option for the CFDA/Vogue Fashion Fund Awards looked great. Her assymentrical printed dress did attract attention.

The dress Karlie Kloss appeared in at the CFDA/Vogue Fashion Fund Awards was very beautiful by itself. But sincerely speaking it didn’t look impressive on the model. A woman with curves would look better in it.

The same thing I can say about Jacquelyn Jablonski who donned Thakoon creation to the ceremony.

Chanel Iman was wiser in choosing a dress for the CFDA/Vogue Fashion Fund Awards than her fellow models. The Altuzarra creation looked fantastic on her.

Another Gossip Girl actress, Blake Lively, also rocked Chanel design from the latest 2011 Spring/Summer Ready to Wear Collection. The see-through dress looked very sexy.

Christina Ricci strutted the red carpet with designer Peter Som and wore one of his elegant designs.

British model and TV host Alexa Chung also attended the CFDA/Vogue Fashion Fund Awards. As usual she opted for a vintage look. By the way, Alexa is in the running to be named London’s style ambassador at the British Fashion Council’s annual gala on December 7. Some of her competitors include Emma Watson, Stella McCartney, and Tilda Swinton.

Statement jewelry is back in the game.

Stones, metals, beads, massive chains and crystals are of great value for Autumn/Winter 2009-2010.

Super massive and extravagant necklaces were in John Galliano, Marc Jacobs, Thakoon and Lanvin collection.

Plenty of metals and geometrical shapes were presented in their jewelry lines. John Galliano’s Fall 2009 collection was inspired by the Tsar Russian mood.

The pendants are round and very heavy.

Lanvin used the geometrical mosaic: cubs, ovals and squares.

Thakoon loves triangles, and Marc Jacobs preferred black sparkle squares.

Precious stones and sparkles, crystals and semiprecious bright in amazing jewelry by Marc Jacobs, Marni, Oscar de La Renta

Full of cold metals jewelry is presented by Dolce & Gabbana, Alexander McQueen.

Dolca and Gabbana adorned their necklace with a clocks. A very interesting mix.

Flower motives and nature inspiration are seen in Marni’s Soring-Summer collection and Giambattista Valli.

Giambattista Valli uses semiprecious giant stones to create fab stone flowers.

And Marni show us an astonishing garden of gold flowers and chain stalks.

A lot of Beads were seen on catwalk models at Nina Ricci.

Oscar de la Renta launched glamorous necklaces made of silver and gemstones.

Hot massive chains are present in many collections.

Huge metalic round beads – a great idea for statement jewelry. Donna Karan, Bottega Veneta combine big round beads and chains.

If you love to wear heavy and bright necklace – it’s your season again!

And they surely deserve our attention as they look stylish and womanly despite the fact Narciso Rodriguez confessed his inspiration for the creation of such dresses were chains and lashes – as a result aggressiveness turned into femininity.

Bandage-dresses are not new to us as last year we saw some in designers’ lines but this season they are much nicer and more tailored.

I especially like dresses by Herve Leger. They have something from punk-style but at the same time they are so nice-looking and sexy!

Such a dress can easily be accessorized with various pieces and depending on the style of those it will look differently.

For instance, when worn with classic shoes and sophisticated jewelry a bandage dress will look fabulous even on the red.

But if you choose massive jewelry and gladiator boots the whole image will change and you can got to a party of punk-rock-music lovers.

So, everything depends on you and your imagination. Create your own look, make a stand out!

The line will be presented next year and will demonstrate many of her signatures: the jersey, the draping, patterns, cuts and the feminine silhouettes — in fabrics suitable for every one for every day.

The raw will not be labeled Doo.Ri, though the designer is still deciding on a name.

I have been thinking about this for a really long time,” Chung said, “Within my own collection there is a great need to have a wider price range. A second line allows me to do that.”

She thanks Stella Ishii, president of The News showroom, for emboldening her to create the collection.

The collection will be carried by The News, and released for fall distribution.

Dresses from her first wholesale range from $395 to $895, tops from $250 to $675. But dresses from the new line will be sold at a price ranging from $170 to $200 and tops from $80 to $119, outerwear from $425 to $825, and knitwear from $275 to $825.

We are really hoping we can reach a broader range of stores,” Chung said. “I can’t really sell my main collection to a lot of wonderful stores. At that price point, your distribution can be completely broadened.”

The line will also feature leather jackets, leather leggings, silk screened T-shirts, silk-screened tees and jersey dresses.  Jersey outerwear will cost $200 to $325, and leather jackets will be sold for $475.

Many designers are launching their second collections. Thakoon is launching a new abstract line called Thakoon Addition, which will offer less costly takes on some of the designer’s signature tune designs. Tops will sell for around $495, and dresses will go for $825.

Every time I tired to bring them into the main collection, I feel that there is a disconnect. This was a great outlet for me, with clothes that my friends could wear to work or on weekends” Chung tells WWD.

Tuleh’s Bryan Bradley is also launching a lower-priced line called Bryan Bradley in 2009.

Zac Posen wants to launch a secondary collection with a to-be-determined launch date.
