Look around you. You don't have to go to runway shows to find trendy fashions. Just simply observe the fashions of passerbys as you are walking to Starbucks to get your morning coffee or shopping at the mall. One of the biggest inspriations for new trends is passing you by as you rush to class. Take a moment to really see what other people, old and young, are wearing because you will be surprised how many of those trends will end up on the runway. Thats right, designers take inspiration from street fashions and utilize them throughout their collection. Its like the student is teaching the master.
Opening my eyes to this new fashion revelation, I was able to observe many different trends on Thayer Street and around Brown University that transpired into elements within Prada's Spring 2013 RTW collection.
As you can see, flower patterns and motifs were a very popular trend in street fashion. This floral design was seen mostly on backpacks which are quickly becoming this year's new must have handbag replacement. The design was an allover pattern which appeared also on handbags. Although definetly more popular with the younger crowd, mostly college students, there are no limits in age for this hot trend.
Floral patterns are definetly going to be a hot trend for Spring 2013 as seen by the trendsetters of the street. Handbags and backpacks are especially going to be featuring this in demand ultra feminine print so make sure to really accentuate those key accessories in your wardrobe selection for spring.
Throughout Prada's collection, you can see this street fashion influence on her handbags. Like the backpacks, the floral motif is used all over the bag. Prada also utilized the floral concept throughout her collection on apparel whether it was painted, printed or sewn on. Realizing the popularity of this chic feminine trend on the streets, Prada was smart to incorporate it throughout the collection, playing on the 60's flower power theme.
So what do you think? Will you be rocking this super girly floral pattern come Spring?
