Spring/Summer 2013 Fashion Shows

It's time! It's time for the New York Fashion Week and London Fashion Week! All fashionista's are looking forward to this part of the year where they can get a full show of all the creative works of the high fashion industry. Prominent designers and luxury brands set-out their best works in the runway. For this blog, I'll be talking about the highlights of two of the big four fashion weeks, the NYFW and London Fashion Week.

NYFW

The New York Fashion Week has just concluded last week after 8 days of runway shows which previewed the trends for spring and summer 2013. The trends that seem to pop out of the runway were monochromatic trumps, patterns, spring-like colors, futuristic fashions, more skin exposure, and leather. These styles are considered very bold and different from the runway shows in the past and I'm pretty impressed and amazed with the works of well-known designers.

I have compiled photos from the NYFW. Check em out below!

London Fashion Week

Next up is the London Fashion Week which is still up and running in the catwalk throughout the week showcasing some of the best designers in London. My favorites as of now are those from Topshop & show stopper Burberry Prorsum.

Topshop looks into the future with its futuristic designs and Burberry goes shiny and dazzling with its metallic, bright, foil-like styled clothing. Did I forget to mention that the show's also star-studded?! One Direction's Harry Styles has made an appearance which surely attracted a crowd of fan girls at the show ;) Check out some of the photos from the London Fashion Week below.
