Shortlist Style: Runway Trends Spring/Summer 2011

Summer 2011 is gonna be less than a year from now. But in planet fashion, you've gotta forecast what you gonna wear when the weather get hot, the sun's shining bright in the year 2011. And for that Shortlist mag brought you the roundup of the runway trends for SS11 seen in the menswear show in Milan and Paris a couple of weeks back.

Anything change? Of course there is. DSquared2 for example. If in the current season the theme plays around the weekend break out in the woods, with all the tents and wellies and stuff, for 2011 it's the weekend in the city. Or perhaps in metropolis, coz many jackets like double breasted and bright-colored, alongside tailored shirts paired with jeans, are seen quite a lot on the models.

Louis Vuitton also escape the sporty casual in SS2010 to urban casual, just like seen like at DSquared2. At Dries Van Noten, the story seems to swirl around bleached denim compared to the current 'pattern' palette. Yet one thing that looks to continue is the browns and neutrals by the designer.

Others include the retro, like 70s playboy look @ DSquared2, Great Gatsby @ Ferragamo and 50s rockability @ Versace. Btw, I love Gucci coz there's lots of prints and the collection appears to exude the understated sultry and sexy look, which is good for the brand's DNA. =)
