The New York spring/summer 2009 fashion week is already behind us but the looks, the trends, and inspirations are leading us to the next season. A few of the main trends included natural skin tones, folk art, blue, little star white dresses, femininity, prints and patterns.


A major trend in the in the Fall/Winter in '08-'09 collections was head to toe natural skin tones that are still a key color palette. Many designers created a fusion of beige and neutral tones, among them Michael Kors, Calvin Klein, Thakoon, Tommy Hilfiger and Carmen Marc Valvo. Amongst natural tones every shade of blue from electric to sky were splashing the runways. The trends also represented a summer of love with fun, colorful patterns, floral embroideries, paisley & horse prints, adorned waist coats, lace, elaborate embellishments, oversized features, beautiful butterflies elements, embroidered, printed or appliqué, floral & folk-ethnic prints, abstract figures and geometric patterns. Shapes included soft or structured, creased, ruffled, pleated, draped and voluminous. All of these trends made the New York fashion week unforgettable.
