It is probably one of the most exciting times for fashionistas everywhere as Fashion Week is in full effect. We’ve been glued to our computers as we have been researching up to the minute updates on what’s been hot on the runway. We’ve been in awe at some of the new trends that have emerged such as the ‘Sporty Chic’ look and old trends that are here to stay-such as color blocking. A major trend alert that has been seen in many collections: Peplum! This may give us a flashback into the 80’s but be prepared to see it when you are out doing your spring shopping. The trend adds a girly touch to your wardrobe whether it be on your jacket, sweater or even your basic tops. Another 80’s look taking over the runway? The Mullet.  No, not the awful hairstyle. Mullet Hems. You know, short in the front, long in the back. Seen mostly on skirts and dresses, the look gives an illusion that you are wearing a mini when looking at you from the front, but someone looking at you from the back will think you are wearing a long skirt. It’s a great look for formal events.

We couldn’t help but have a fashion week special that you can find as soon as you log on to Chickdowntown.  Find all the latest looks and spring 2012 fashions when you clock on the homepage banner on Chickdowntown. Happy Shopping!
