Fashion Themes for the New Season. Part 2

Hey, fashionistas!
I'm continuing this weeks topic of fashion trends for 2012. Aren't you all curious to see what the new spring items look like?? Even though mercury keeps dropping, and snow might be around the corner, Spring/Summer fashion is already slowly showing up at retailers, and surely those dresses, skirts, jackets and pants will compete for domination among fashionable spenders. Which ones will win the competition??
So, with the help of some resources, I'm giving you all a sneak peek into the main fashion themes this Spring season. Which would be your ultimate picks??

 Casual looks fit for a summer picnic appear sweet and innocent and undoubtedly relaxed.
Brilliant gingham checks and garden florals sit next to eyelet, linen, chambray and classic cotton poplin.

 Driven by the strong 70s sentiment, this traditional bohemian expression is realized with eclectic hippie mixes of print and pattern. Paisleys, botanical flowers and ethnic border prints play amongst gauze, silk, crochet and rich embellishment.

 A desert expedition brings in a rugged and exotic feel with raw materials paired with animal skins.
The natural feel is expressed through crinkle linen and dye techniques while prints come alive with snake, leopard, feather and reptile. Beading and fringe add extra flavor.

Tropical references are expressed in a bold and bright medley that puts prints and patterns at the forefront. Amazonian inspiration brings in lush jungle landscapes filler with tropical fruits. Hawaiian florals are essential and Polynesian tiki prints bring in an exotic flavor.
