The Fall 2012 collections were on display this week in the big apple, and after seeing countless shows and observing all the looks that will rule the racks at stores in the next few months, there were three trends in particular that I really loved!!

The magic of messy hair

The models at the Mara Hoffman show had the coolest coifs of the week!  The big, windblown hair was a runway hit, but the look won’t be too difficult to reinterpret for real life.  Its refreshing to think that when windy weather sets in again, messy hair will be considered cool.  Can’t wait!

Crayola Colors

Gone are the days of doom and gloom clothing for cold weather.  Several designers showed bright bold colors in their fall 2012 collections but Tracey Reese did it best!  Her vibrant jewel tones and beautiful textured fabrics are definitely something to look forward to next fall.

Modern Day Mod

Celebrity stylist Rachel Zoe staged her very first runway show and it was a smashing success!!  Inspired by 60’s rock & roll, the collection channeled Mick Jagger’s rebellious sexy vibe, with a 2012 attitude.  The super long, ultra sleek middle-parted hair on the models was so FAB!!!
