Style Report: 

Spring/Summer 2010 

The old has gone;

The new has come.

What's hot this year?

Read on to find out. ;) 

1) Mixed Prints 

(Versace)

(last 2 by Marc by Marc Jacobs)

We went all somber and grunge last year *no thanks to the whole economy crisis early '09*.

Nevertheless, 2010 it's all about crazy with prints. ;D

Not just any prints though.

Think tie-dye; nouveau tribal prints; boho kraftan prints; and loud graphics splattered on sci-fi silhouettes and gravity defying sculptures.

Saying these are merely eye catching and vibrant would certainly be an understatement. ;P

So mix and match your favourite prints and embrace the wild carefree side of 2010.

2) Utilitarian Chic/ Military Inspired 

(Dior/ Balmain)

Military fashion has been with us for quite some time now; and we sure are familiar with it--

But, here's news. It's evolving. ;D

Ancient Pharaohs and long-gone-kings with military elements now give way to a more modern and no doubt, futuristic, evolution.

Wilder; fiercer and bolder! Ancient civilizations and their warriors are brought back to life this season with a savage tribal twist. ;)

Think metal plating, leather tunics, chain-mail inspired details, and meticulous embellishments.

3) All Things Ruffled, Laced, and Sheer 

(cover shoots done in Jan 2010)

Lace lace lace.

This is an easy one; and i'm sure you know all about it already. :D

Throw in seductively sheer mesh and playful frills for one booming trend in 2010. ;)

Flirtatious and feminine, these modern coquettish confections are an absolute delight in subtly toning down 'em the fiercer elements of the Spring/Summer 2010 collection.

So, do keep wearing 'em mesh laced bustiers, cropped tanks, lacy skirts and the like. ;D  

4) Bodysuits, Boy Shorts & Hot Pants

(Prada/ Blumarine/ Balmain)

I don't know about you, but it looks like designers certainly caught a good whiff of Lady Gaga!

Suddenly we're seeing the emergence of super negative hemlines and bodysuits. ;P

And thus, the innerwear as outerwear debate begins.

Not something that'll be very popular here in Malaysia I'm predicting, so here's how to get around it:

By settling for boy shorts and short shorts instead. :)

Anything that spells out sassy. ;D

Whatever the case is, hemlines are definitely getting shorter this season.
