WHAT WAS ON THE RUNWAY FOR SPRING SUMMER 2008
IN NEW YORK
If you’re wondering what the upcoming spring-
summer trends are from fashion week in New York
take a peek. According to Infomat, neutrals were
king, with black, white, bright green, red, bright
blue and hot pink in the fashion mix.
BADGLEY MISCHKA
Mark Badgley and James Mischka’s Spring/Summer
2008 collection was reminiscent of France in the
1920s. Colors were Black, white, and grey with
yellow prints, subtle greens, and hot pink. There
were "maxi" length skirts and dresses
with lots of movement.
Luckily there were printed head wraps, High-waist
pencil skirts and trousers as well as large glamorous
sunhats.

“British designer Andrew Buckler is
known for combining "blue-collar rough-n-tumble
with colorful Goth-punk rock." The
line was masculine, fresh, stylish and unique.
Buckler gave "preppy"
a makeover, with neutrals black and white,
crème and grey. When he did use color
it was electric blue, red-orange, pastel
yellow, a little hot pink (yes, hot pink
for guys) and lime green.
Skinny trousers dominated
the runway - and so did short shorts - reminiscent
of bicycle shorts. Boxers and traditional
swim trunks are out and teeny swimsuits
and underwear are in - with matching swim
caps. Don’t ask, don’t tell,
I guess. |

and made it extraordinary with color, print

wearable and functional. |

Spring 2008 Collection is simple, stylish
and all about grey. Tuxedo jackets had shawl
collars in contrasting colors and a double-breasted
trench had an unpredictable detachable hood.
Suits had sheen, and the three-piece suit
with t-shirt replaced traditional business
attire.
