The Fashion Runway Report

The Looks/Spring 2003

Color

Its back for Spring! Bold colors are striking out for the warm days ahead. Bright and soft pinks are center stage, as well as orange, bright blues and greens, fushia, and don't forget white-the anchor for the season-clean and crisp. Say bye bye to your old friend black-just for one season.

Chinoiserie/Asian Inspired

Think short and slim for the Spring with a traditional Asian look with a very modern appeal. Shiny satin and silk make these short dresses great for evening. Kimonos made a splash on the runway, worn with minis and skinny pants. Look to Mui Mui and Tom Ford for Gucci to find your Asian stand out piece for Spring.

50's

Julianne Moore's characters in Far from Heaven and the Hours were sure to influence this season's pretty 50's look. Simple and elegant, this look is great as a head to toe ensemble-from crop-sleeved jackets to open-toed pumps. To update the look, jackets are a bit more fitted, but the pencil skirts have stayed true. Check out Marc Jacobs and Louis Vitton for your 2003 versions of these 50's classics.

Surfer Chic

Don't be afraid of this free-spirited look. Surf was up on the runways with bikini chic and Chanel surfboards. Wet suit dresses, neoprene gear of all sorts, cut off cropped tees, as well as wearable beach and surf prints. Tracy Feith showed some beautiful dresses with Hawaiian print and Prada got skimpy with their surf looks.

Rocker/Metal

Microminis, ripped jeans, hardware, gladiator inspired chain mail gear, grommet laden dresses and buckle lined pants were all over the runway this season. Metallic (not the band) shined all over from make-up to the new Prada sandals and accessories galore. It's a little Glam rocker influence and if used sparingly, can add a lot of zing to your look.

Cargo/Utility Chic

A more casual take on Spring, this years cargo look is an easy to wear style that is durable as well. From canvas to cotton to even satin, the range is wide and the pants are just below the knee. Plenty of pockets and grommets and buckles and snaps, you can even go without a bag. Dolce & Gabbana lead the way, along with Tommy Hilfiger.

Preppy Society Girl

Get out the tennis gear for Spring 2003. Remember the alligator (Izod) with the collar flipped up? And the seamless crisp Bermuda shorts? A very feminine look, these pretty patterned dresses stand alone with simple gold jewelry and wooden round handle bags. The colors are very sweet in whites, reds, pinks, and blues. Go for a pinstripe skirt straight from Lacoste or a Seersucker jacket by Anne Klein.

Make the Runway Your Own

Color

  • Wear color at night for a change-you'll be a stand-out in a sea of black
  • Keep it simple and streamline-stay with the same color and tone throughout your look
  • Still stuck on Black? Try a bright bag and shoes to update your look!

Chinoiserie/Asian Inspired

  • If you're having trouble with the look, try an accessory-a bracelet or a bamboo bag, or even some Jade
  • Try a sleek ponytail or chopsticks in the hair
  • Chung som tops are very popular this season and are great with jeans for a more casual look
  • Metallic sandals can be great with this look

50's

  • Get some wave in that hair! The touseled just out of bed look gives the 50's feel a modern twist...
  • Find a great 50's Jackie O suit at a thrift store; have it tailored so it's a bit more snug and you're ready to go
  • Cat eye glasses make a great accent to this look, as well as any ladylike accents
  • Try pairing your 50's jacket with some cropped fitted jeans
  • Short trenches are great with skinny pants

Surfer Chic

  • Where would a surfer be without some sunglasses? Metal and big!
  • Try a bikini or lingerie top under a printed blouse and skirt
  • A caftan (blouse short dress) with narrow pants or jeans
  • Casual beach hair is great with this look
  • A shine spray to separate and a cold dryer do the trick

Rocker/Metal

  • Mini skirts work well if worn with a double breasted jacket (and the right legs of course!)
  • Pair busy buckle pants with a simple black top
  • Wear metallic shoes with any of the look this season (ok, maybe not preppy)
  • Jeans are great with rocker chic pumps and a colorful top

Cargo/UtilityChic

  • Try the short silky cargo pants of the season with strappy sandals
  • Buy cargo gear in colors and pretty fabrics-this keeps the trend feminine
  • Pair the utility pants with a pretty feminine blouse or tank
