Son Jung Wan SS12 Fashion Show: Simplistic Elegance

The Son Jung Wan Spring/Summer 2012 collection opened with a neutral base of colors like cream and white. The collection became more daring with richer colors like blue and gold. Other colors included navy, charcoal, taupe, grey, silver and metallic. The selection of materials varied from silk, satin, linen, cotton, sequins and even leather.

The unisex looks were mixed with versatile pieces that exemplified a specific time in a person’s life from work to play and everything in between.

My favorite pieces were the gold sequin sleeveless short jumper and the metallic brown silk blouse with metallic brown sequined skirt. The collection overall was all about simplistic elegance with well thought out structure and the right amount of details.

7 Major Trends for Spring/Summer 2012

 They say fashion reflects the economic times we live in. If that’s true we have something to look forward to for Spring/Summer 2012. The 7 major trends on the runway for SS12 were sheer materials, bright colors, ruffles, saucy prints, polka dots, shiny gold fabrics and lots of structured shapes. It’s been a while since I’ve seen so much vibrancy and color on the runways at Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week.

Could it be that our economy is finally beginning to turn around? Guess we’ll have to wait and see this coming Spring if the season’s fashion is a true reflection of the times.
