Spring 2012 Preview from H&M

Spring season is a time for new beginnings.  In fashion that means packing away the cozy winter knits and embracing the light fluid shapes of spring and summer.  Watch this video as Ann-Sofie Johansson, Head of Design at H&M discusses some of the trends coming to stores.  We also hearf from Natalie Hartley from In Style Magazine.  Color blocking, pencil skirts and fluid trousers are all key parts of this collection.

Color Blocked

Color-blocking reigns for spring.

Bold brights continue to dominate fashion this spring.  According to Pantone orange, blue and yellow are some of the top color trends for the year.  Last year color-blocking made its way down several runways.  This season it has become more mainstream and is one of this season's biggest trends.  Wearing two or three colors is best.  Too much can be overload.  Unless it's like the rainbow top by Christopher Kane (pictured below far right corner) worn with a solid skirt.

Will you wear this trend?
