SPRING & SUMMER (S|S) FASHION TRENDS 2013|14

(Originally posted in February but brought to present date for those getting in to the warm months)

It's hard to believe that some parts of the world are already hitting Spring of 2013. It feels like just yesterday that we were looking out for the 2012 S/S trends!

But alas, it IS here. So what else is there to do but GO WITH IT and STAY with it.

From the runways of Paris all through to New York, the S/S collections were literally all over the place. I can't think of a single thing untouched.

We see some styles that are truly 'blasts from the past'. Sixties and Nineties in particular. While many trends have survived last season.

So without further ado, here is the list. I will be doing individual posts on each one for more detailed info on it
