Novel Graphics

One of the hottest trends for spring 2013 is the classic pairing of black and white.  This high impact look is always right, day or night.  This ain’t a delicate floral print or dainty dotted swiss--the trend is a sophisticated, graphically bold statement.  This is style in high definition featuring broad stripes and crisp blocks of contrast. Many of the styles are mod 60s inspired motifs that remind me of Op Art--geometry, positive and negative space given equal prominence, clean lines and shapes.

Keep your accessories minimal but strong if you plan to rock this style.  Consider a structured yellow bag. Go for Vampira-red lip and nails or a retro-inspired geometric bob for the finishing touch.

You can find this look everywhere: H&M and Topshop dresses, Rag and Bone jeans, White House Black Market everything. Marc Jacobs, Michael Kors and others marched these looks down the runway, and you can march them right into your closet.
