#3 Fashion Trend from NY Street

Camel Color
It's a desert out there. As I walked downtown 5th Avenue in the warm for February weather but with the looming promise of rain, New Yorkers are bundled up but not with the all black attire so typical of the average New Yorker but rather they are wearing camel. We've seen this color in every style of trench coat, but in NYC, camel is not specific to outerwear. Camel was seen in shoes, pants, hats, and bags. This shows the diversity of the color and how it can be paired with almost everything, much like black, but creates a lighter, almost warmer feel. I especially love the pairing of this trend with a bright colored accent piece.
Now if only it was as warm and sunny as Egypt.

#2 Key Trend for Fall 2012

 Pops of Neon
 Neon isn't just for LED signs and '80s chick flicks anymore. This bright and bold trend was seen on the New York Fashion Week runways this season. Neon has been back and forth in terms of style but what I love about the neon this season is the frequency of it. In most collections neon will make an appearance in one or two looks as an article of clothing, handbag, or shoe. This adds the color that everyone is dying to see in an all black show and at the same time creates an exclusive, one-of-a-kind feel. Sometimes with neon, less is more.
Here are a few who I thought did it best...

 
L.A.M.B.

 
Custo Barcelona

Nanette Lepore

 Alice + Olivia

 BCBG Max Azria

  Betsey Johnson
 Finally, Ms. Betsey. Not exactly a "pop" but the Queen of Quirk isn't really one for understatements.
