WHAT THE OTHER SIDE HAS TO SAY ABOUT FASHION – STRICTLY LA

The Spring '08 sportswear looks included bold colors, graphic prints and dynamic '80s silhouettes. There were classic romantic looks, sheer fabrics and floral prints. Key silhouettes ranged from high-waisted trousers to rompers and dresses.

Eco-designers showed casual bamboo dresses by Ecoganik and Gary Harvey's couture gowns were made of recycled newspapers. Technology made an imprint on the season with high-tech fabrics, metallics, tie-dyes and hombre treatments.

Here is a look at the season's key trends.
