Spring Fling

The leaves just started falling and we’re far from our first snowfall, but let’s take a peek forward at what went down the runways at New York Fashion Week for spring 2011. There were loads of colorful patterns mixed and matched in the best possible ways, lots of nods to classic Americana, and a sea of white.

Tom Scott’s collection, inspired by sports, was a slam dunk—especially this knit pullover, which resembles a basketball net.

Anna Sui had Joni Mitchell and the American prairie in mind for spring. The patchwork, paisley and fringe make me want to head west.

Though black was absent from Alexander Wang’s runway show, it’s clear he’s not losing his edge with this deconstructed look.
