Below you will find Enlighten, Fable, and Sobriety. These are 3 trend forecasts for spring/summer 2011. I interpreted these trends in my own way.

Enlighten represents the most colorful of the 3. This trend is inspired by bright palettes, Indian influences, and other ethnic cultures combined. It is modern, fun and festive, and has some traditional influences. Life is celebrated again and adornments give a nod to experience, travel and an appreciation for culture.

Fable, the 2nd trend, is inspired by linear silhouettes, ornamental detail, and an 80's edgy take on the trend. I chose to go a more sequin glam route as opposed to the delicate route. What I like about this version of fable is that it is the more armored, more david bowie, more vintage rocker inspired as opposed to the whimsical side. For spring/summer these elements can be brought into more tanks, skirts, and strapless dresses. This has to be my favorite of the 3.

Sobriety, the last trend, is the more subtle. A very washed out color palette including both denim and lightweight fabrics, makes this trend easy and comfortable to wear in spring/summer. Lace, traditional lines, and simple shapes make this vintage bohemian feel eclectic, and the accents of brown, yellow, and blue are calming and timeless.
