This issue has been dedicated to Spring 2015 trends right in time for the perfect change of

weather as the temps begin to warm up. Spring is a huge season for the fashion world, it’s a season

where designers and retailers anticipate a high turnout from its consumers. Next to Fall, Spring is an

highly anticipated season in the fashion world.

After much continued success and a welcoming response from our last two issues; Resort 2015

Trends and our Valentine’s Day Gift & Looks Guide, we’re happy to say we’re all geared up for this

next big issue. The warmer, sunnier days are upon us and the Spring 2015 trends have a major impact

in the world of fashion because they set the tone for what we’ll be wearing during our Spring and

Summer months. At this point everyone is beyond ready to peel back the layers and get into

something a bit lighter and brighter.

In a world full of negativity and even wars in some places, it was refreshing to see how designers

could inspire hope for change through their expressions of peace and love on the runways. Spring

has always been symbolic of change, new life or a fresh start so why not try new ways to express

ourselves. Many trends trickled in from Resort such as tie-dyes, fringe, longer lengths, neutrals, sheer

hemlines and bold blooming florals. The Retro-Fab Seventies still dominated the Spring runway

shows ranging from hipster denim pieces, caftan shapes & tunics, dreamy leather for various seasons,

trapeze dresses and unlike the rest there was a utilitarian, camouflage trend. It’s going to be one

beautifully cool feast for our eyes and silhouettes this season!

As for the Menswear Spring runway shows, designers stuck to a cleaner color palette, such as a

strong presence of navys, brown undertones, black and white contrasting graphics and some of our

favorites, prints and denim on denim. It was exciting to see Womenswear trends such as prints and

denim transcend into the men’s category. It’s time for the gentlemen to be creative and playful with

their wardrobes. And as a take home, we have included some fun, and delightful Spring 2015 runway

inspired looks for both men and women to help you achieve your own very Spring 2015 looks.

Happy reading!

We thank you for your continued support.

Spring 2015 Trend Report

Denim Craze

FENDI BURBERRY

PRORSUM

KENZO BOTTEGA SONIA RYKIEL VALENTINO MICHAEL KORS

VENETA

Blue denim is on the horizon again! One of the biggest trends on the Spring runways, from

contemporary to women designers. Denim came with a modern twist in pants that ranged from super

wide leg to cropped, a hint of Boho in tunic tops, dresses and amazing suits to jumpsuits.



Head to Toe Florals

GUCCI MARNI ERDEM

MARY KATRANTZOU

HOUSE OF HOLLAND

A bit of an extension from Resort,

blooming florals trickled into the

Spring runways in upmost

sophistication. Floral prints range from

bold to bright colors to softer more

conservative ones. Some of the

highlights were the retro head to toe

pantsuits to the dramatic dresses in

long, midi and mini lengths. Take your

pick and bloom this Spring season.



All Sorts of Leather

.

ALTUZARRA GIVENCHY CHRISTIAN DIOR MOSCHINO VERSACE

SAINT LAURENT MIU MIU BALMAIN ROBERTO CAVALI

Just when you thought you would have to retire all your leather pieces from Spring,

there’s been a change in plans. Leather came in many colors, great separates and it

wasn’t only limited to outerwear. On the runway it was seen in laser cut pieces, in

beautifully stitched panels, rich metallics, and bold reds had a big presence. Have some

fun and opt to use your leather pieces as great in between season staples.

Girl Talk!!

“Let’s talk about sex baby, let’s talk about you and me, let’s talk about all the good things and the bad things

that may be!” –Salt & Pepa

Ex mark the spot, or not?!

In the world of dating we all have experienced different

type of relationships, with some finding its’ way back to us. A

revolving door of past loves. To let them in or not is the question.

To what extent do we let them in, to what capacity, and what is the

purpose? They are in your past for a reason, right? There’s the

long term ex, the one that you have dated for a number of years;

there’s the short ex, the one you have dated for several months;

and there’s the casual ex, the one who was a “casual” friend.

Reasons we let them back in:

1. Familiarity

2. Curious of the potential

3. Hopeful

Besides these three reasons, we have to ask ourselves why

are we debating their presence in our lives again, and are these

valid reasons. The issue of dating, is one that is scary at times,

discouraging and even unknown and as a result it is easier to

fall back on someone that we have history with. The sense of

familiarity makes it easier, as well as comforting and we

sometimes overlook the reasons the relationship fizzled. When

debating with a long term love, is the grass greener on the

other side? In some cases it is, and in some cases it is not. The

reasons of your breakup is the determining factor here. Are

those reasons fixable over the course of time? For example,

has he recently advanced himself in his career, is he more

grounded and becoming that fatherly or husbandly figure that

you dreamt of? Is he meeting his own expectations of the man,

he envisioned himself to be, and the man you fell in love with?

On the contrary, are the reasons for your breakup due to trust,

fidelity, abuse or broken communication, then time and history

cannot fix these factors.

When debating with a short term love, curiosity takes over.

We start to wonder about what we could have been, and what

we can be now. When a relationship was short lived, there

aren’t as many battle wounds, we aren’t as emotionally

attached, and therefore it allows us to make a decision more

clearly because we aren’t as emotionally invested. Overall, it is

easier to revisit the conversation of letting them back into our

lives. Once again, case by case is priority. Meaning, not every

short term love is worthy of a second chance. Weigh the factors

of what caused your relationship to end. If these factors are

less damaging, such as relocation, age factors, bad timing or

your relationship goals are different, then these are reasons to

debate and possibly reconsider if ex marks the spot. However,

if the reasons are more damaging then it will be a much

tougher case in allowing them back in.

As for the casual love, hope and the possibility of growth

takes over. Since this relationship was casual, you can now

allow yourself to see if it can bloom into something more

fruitful. In this case it is sometimes good to keep an open mind

of the what- ifs or giving this person a fair shot at dating you.

You never know what could materialize and this could be your

fair shot at true love, so be an eternal optimist with this ex.

Whether ex marks the spot or not it all boils down to the

nature of your relationship with this person. It’s a case by case

basis when it comes to the revolving door of our ex’s.

Something else to take into consideration are your feelings,

memories with this person, the time you spent together, how

much in that time apart did you miss them and have you grown

an appreciation for them? There will always be that case of the

ex, it’s just a matter of whether you allow history to repeat

itself or not. Allow yourself time to figure out if it’s meant to

be and always exercise patience and reasoning when deciding.



NBA All-Star Fashion Show written by, Sarah Fuller

Jr Smith

The last time New York hosted the NBA All-

Star festivities was back in 1998. Those teams included

Michael Jordan, Karl Malone, Kevin Garnett, Shaq and

more. A lot has changed since then. From each player

wearing their respective jerseys to the format. One thing

that has definitely changed is…The Fashion. Players of

today came to the world’s most famous arena, MSG

strutting their stuff. Coincidentally, another major event

was taking place in NYC, Mercedes Benz Fashion

Week. While in the city of Fashion the NBA decided

to take part by putting on their first ever All-Star

Fashion Show, produced by NBA superstar Lebron

James. J.R. Smith, Klay Thompson, DeMarcus

Cousins, and Chandler Parsons were among the players

to compete in this fashion show. Judged by NBA

legends Kenny Smith and Charles Barkley along with

designer John Elliot.

This was more than a show but an actual

competition. Players showcased their looks for a series

of rounds, the winner of each round would move on

resulting in the finals. After round one and the semi-

finals, it came down between the Houston Rockets

Chandler Parsons and the Cleveland Cavaliers J.R.

Smith. Parsons, who has modeling experience was

unable to withstand Smith’s fashion sense, as he was

crowned the winner of the NBA’s first ever fashion

show. What a great way to kick off All-Star weekend

which was filled with more off the court fashion. NBA

fashion will only continue to elevate, let’s see what the

rest of the season has in store.

Spring 2015 Trends Men’s Edition

Prints

ETRO

OPENING CEREMONY

Prints are back on the

runways again for Spring

2015. This has been

trending for quite some

time and seems to be

staying for a while. We

have seen this trend

heavily focused on

women’s wear so it’s

nice to it translating into

the menswear category.

Be bold and try prints

for Spring 2015.



Black & White Graphics

ALEXANDER WANG BALMAIN OVADIA & SONS

ALEXANDER MCQUEEN OVADIA & SONS HOOD BY AIR

Black & White are always classic

combinations, and opposites tend to

attract. This Spring 2015 trend is bold

because of the strong contrast between

these two very powerful color ways.

Seamlessly incorporate both into one

look by choosing one dominate color

and the other as a secondary. It’s fun,

it’s bold and can be risky.



The Navy Base

ALEXANDER WANG BALENCIAGA ALEXANDER WANG

3.1 PHILLIP LIM BALENCIAGA 3.1 PHILLIP LIM

Navy had a very strong presence on the runways for Spring 2015. Stock up on your different navy

pieces and incorporate them into your wardrobe for the season. Mix it with colors like white, black,

navy on navy, grey and brown shades. It’s easy to do and shouldn’t be too difficult for even those

that consider themselves fashionably challenged.



Stripes & The Relaxed Suit

ALEXANDER MCQUEEN OVADIA & SONS

3.1 PHILLIP LIM OVADIA & SONS 3.1 PHILLIP LIM

Heavy focus on the runways for Menswear were

striped suits and stripes in general. If you haven’t

bought yourself a stripe suit now is the time to

do so because many designers have included this

trend in their Spring collections, which means

many options to choose from. Variety is key

especially when it comes to a trend as tricky and

sometimes not as flattering as stripes. To make

things easy go for a relaxed fit, with a casual tee

to make things less stringent. Spring is supposed

to be fun, and playful enjoy it!



Denim Craze

BALMAIN TOM FORD HOOD BY AIR

TOM FORD

Denim on denim was a solid trend

on the runways. Tom Ford below

shows us how to wear the look in so

many different ways, some even

followed a monochromatic scheme.

Denim has been on the scene for a

few seasons and it seems to be

staying around for just a little while

longer for Spring 15 menswear.
