S/S '11 Trends from Catwalk To Wardrobe

My Asho brings you the top 3 Spring/Summer '11 trends from the catwalks and shows you how to look trend-savvy at a fraction of the usual exorbitant designer prices. What more incentive do you need to trend-shop yourself happy?

1. The 'Eye-Popping Colour' Trend

The international catwalks were awash with explosive colourful brights showing the world that this is not the season for the 'shrinking violet'; quite far from it. Indeed, this is a season for the 'bold and beautiful' and designers experimented with dazzling hues like oceanic blues, jewel-toned purples and glowing fluoros. With all the different ways to wear this trend, My Asho advises you to wear one vibrant shade, enriched in luxe fabric from top to bottom.

2. The 'Print-Tastic' Trend

Graphic, floral, painterly, fruit, tribal - these are just some of the prints that designers injected onto their collections to give of that 'spring to summer' feeling. My Asho advises you to pair a loud statement print skirt with a simple white tee, camisole or vest.

3. The 'Taking it to the Max' Trend

Designers went to full, flowing lengths when designing their dresses this season and why not? Nothing encapsulates chic summer dressing like a ground skimming dress that billows daintily around your ankles. My Asho advises you to pair this glamorous trend with flat sandals to radiate those care-free summer vibes.
