What is the colour for autumn, probably Camel you say, but now a new colour has become the star for 2013, and that’s grey. It’s a versatile shade to perfect tricky, trans-seasonal dressing. For a creative way to create a sophisticated but also fancy look with the use of neutral vibes grey has come forward.

There is a stereotype that grey is a bland colour and can’t really be a part of a chic look. For warm greys these shades contain yellow hues and work perfect to create a playful look. You can keep the balance by combining these hues with black, white and other shades of grey and for cool greys.

Cool greys have an interesting shade of blue. Cool greys look astonishing fancy if you combine them with complementary blue shades, green or classic black. But grey is a colour that helps to create an elegant, yet fascinating appearance. A colour that has an exuberance of warmth and comfort. A colour that keeps you in the forefront of fashion, A colour that makes any skin, height and body look amazing. And grey can be worn in any texture – May it be metallics, satin, lace, or leather.

Not this season for florals or sugar coated pastel colours, it’s black and White. But this season, designers put the emphasis on strong black-and-white looks. black-and-white clothing is an age-old signal of servitude and humility and certain pieces of black and white clothing retain their meaning a white dress for a bride is a tradition that shows no sign of shifting while on a more muted level black jeans have somehow retained an air of rock’n'roll cool that no longer applies to blue jeans.

The black & white trend is huge for this spring, especially stripes in all forms: vertical, horizontal, zigzag, chevron, you name it. And though black might be deemed a more winter/fall palette, we know it emanates timeless versatility since it can be used as a base for exciting prints and bright colours. But, this season, black and white is trying to be fun, and to do that it has to subvert expectations.

When in doubt, stick to smaller black & white patterns, rather than large graphics. While large graphic shapes are also a Spring 2013 trend, it’s a little bit trickier to pull off, so proceed with caution. The boldest route is to embrace Op Art stripes, chessboard graphics or mixed monochrome prints. From Alexander Wang to Marc Jacobs to Catherine Malandrino, black & white has appeared on many spring 2013 runways.

It actually isn’t a trend at all. Add a punch of colour as nothing pops more than a vibrant blast of colour against a black & white canvas. Think yellow, red, orange, cobalt blue, turquoise, or hot pink accents. Jewellery, shoes, purses, glasses, and hats are all ways to add an exclamation point to your favourite black & white ensembleIt’s one of the most classic looks one can rock. Appropriate to wear year-round, easy to pull off at every budget, and sleek enough to work at the office or on date night, this trend is the definition of wearable. And what’s really great about it, is that anyone can wear it

Style icon Olivia Palermo, a former socialite and has graced the cover of New York Magazine as the It-Girl in 2007. Born in New York City on February 28, 1986 and was raised between New York City and Connecticut. She studied abroad in Paris before returning to New York to complete her undergraduate degree in Communications Studies at The New School. Since exploding onto the scene staring in MTV’s ‘The City’ Olivia Palermo has become a style icon.

She is constantly topping the best dressed polls, and she is the ‘It’ girl seen at every fashion show on both sides of the pond. Olivia is renowned for her groomed and polished Upper East Side look. Her style is classic with a modern twist, and she is a huge fan of accessorising. Whilst appearing on ‘The City’ Olivia Palermo worked in the public relations department for fashion label Diane von Fürstenberg in their New York City office.

Since then, she switched jobs to work at Elle Magazine. Palermo was a cast member on The City alongside Whitney Port. So there is no doubt this girl knows a thing or two about fashion. There are many things to admire about Olivia Palermo: her flawless features, front-row access to some of the world’s most in-demand fashion shows, and incredibly covetable wardrobe. With her effortless, girly and sophisticated style, and known for the loose, wavy locks just below her shoulder and her cutsie style she has been muses for fashion lines.

Also one to not shy away from flat shoes, something most people think are not ‘classy’ enough for fashion shows. here’s lots to be learned from this mix like how to balance high-and-low pieces from the likes of Topshop and Valentino, or how to pull off a play on texture, colour, and print all at once.

It’s the linear look this season, with stripes racing ahead of the fashion game. Stamping the collections with stripes, chevrons and op-art zig-zags. Perennially chic, stripes are a fashion favourite, and some fashion trends get recycled every few years, and that seems to be the case with this season’s reappearance of wide stripes.

Whether horizontal, vertical, thin, thick, black and white or in living colour, stripes make a graphic statement, day or night the striped pattern in clothing is considered to be a classic fashion trend today. Variations on the strip theme prints seemed to have no boundaries. Stripes as the hero graphic, the runways offered up its latest take on what we love about spring and summer.

On fashion runways show and in reports of street style chronicles we can see wide and narrow strip, vertical and horizontal, two-colour and multi-coloured. The stripes trend was at its strongest in New York during fashion week, where it dominated two very different runways. Marc Jacobs paraded models in 1960s-inspired looks that included horizontal, vertical and zigzag patterns in simple shades of black, white and oxblood.

Michael Kors gave stripes his slick signature with a brighter, sportier take, using emerald green, red, navy and yellow to cover crewneck sweaters, drop waist dresses, and a standout two-toned bathing suit. Elongated cuts and a largely monochrome palette complete the streamlined sensibility.

These all-American, bold stripes are easy to wear for most any occasion, and more than likely, you probably have a few stripe pieces already hanging in your closet. If wide stripes aren’t your thing, thin stripes are also in vogue this season. Versatile, timeless and easy-to-wear, the catwalk favourite looks like it’s here to stay for spring summer 2013, so get in line with bold and bright stripes and add a contemporary twist to both day and night looks.

If top-to-toe stripes seem a little daunting – introduce the trend by way of accessories. Bold monochrome bangles from Moschino or a candy striped raffia bag from Dolce & Gabbana should do the trick nicely. It seems like walking the line is the big thing to do for next spring, with designers galore showing stripes. Thick or skinny, horizontal or vertical, it’s a trend to watch.

Striped pattern in clothing is considered to be a classic fashion trend today. Variations on the strip theme prints seemed to have no boundaries. On fashion runways show and in reports of street style chronicles we can see wide and narrow strip, vertical and horizontal, two-color and multi-coloured. The strip fashion trend is found on many different garments, from pants and shirts, finishing coats and cardigans.

There was a time when the strip fashion trend was found only in the clothing of not the most privileged backgrounds, but starting from beginning of 19th century, this fashion trend pattern is beginning to play a much more interesting role, appearing on the national flag of different countries. And in the twentieth century to strip trend begin to enter the bohemians fashion: Pablo Picasso and Jean-Luc Godard used stripes as means of self-expression – clothes with stripes then looked quite bright and unusual.

Now striped fashion trend is no surprise in now days, but it still looks quite effective and able to perform the role of emphasis even in the simplest fashion manner.

Last season’s flamboyant peplums give way to beautifully tailored curves and belted middles, creating an hourglass line that is smart and super-feminine.

This season belts has become a very fashionable accessory this season. Femininity is very relevant and designers often emphasise the waist, so the models of women’s belts spring-summer 2013 are extremely diverse and offer a lot of interesting ideas.

The belt is one the season’s big accessory stories, whether cinching a sleek pencil dress – like at Victoria Beckham and Dolce & Gabbana – or over winter coats at Chloe and Dior. In the new season the width of a belt is almost not regulated, the collections offer thin and wide belts with traditional or invisible zipper at the back.

Corset-belts are rare, but some designers do offer original models that emphasise a waist or hips. Belts are one of autumn’s big accessory stories. Wearing yours in the same colour palette as your jacket or dress will elongate the torso rather than breaking it up. One of the fashion trends of the season – are belts that precisely match the costume.

This belt can be made of various materials, including the fabric of a suit or a dress. When cinching coats and heavier jackets, choose an elasticated belt for maximum movement and flexibility. Women’s belts of unconventional, curved form, including the ones made of chains with small or large units, as well as various ornaments made of metal, are in fashion.

The new shapely tailored jackets are an easy way to lend lean, boyish figures the illusion of womanly curves. Another trend of the new spring-summer season – is a thin belt with a small bow. The bow is usually made from the part of the belt. It can match the colour of the suit or be bright, contrasting accessory that matches shoes or a handbag.

She seems to have an innate taste that always manifests so beautifully, Sienna Miller the American-born English style icon, model, and actress. Fashion goes she is a bohemian in style and spirit-never too put together or predictable, unafraid to make fashion mistakes and doesn’t seem too concerned with the latest trends.

Born in 1981 in New York City, Miller moved to England to study at the Heathfield School in Ascot, and later studied at the Lee Strasberg Institute in NYC. Before breaking out in the acting world, Sienna has also worked as a photographic model. Frequently mentioned for her unmistakeable sense of style, Miller was known for popularising the “boho-chic” style back in 2004.

Many women, and celebrities alike, emulate the “Sienna” style, mixing expensive designer pieces with thrift store finds. Fashion designer Matthew Williamson has also often cited her as his muse. Only time will tell what fashion tricks Miller has in store for the world. Sienna once said, “I’m really not good at dressing up or being glamorous.” She’s not your typical beauty queen and doesn’t seem to wear all designer labels.

She appears to put relatively no thought in to her outfits, yet always makes a fashionable statement. A past winner of the prestigious Elle Style Award for Style Icon, here are some of Siennas’ fashion moments of her effortless fashion sense transitions nicely from the streets of London to movie premiers to the red carpet.
