Runway to Realway

Runway to Realway
 (Resale-way!)

Not everyone has the time or even the desire to keep track of the latest looks that are being sent down the runway. Interested or not, what couture and high end designers are putting on the runway will affect what ends up in your closet!  Here is a recap of New York Fashion Week’s top spring looks, and different ways to naturally incorporate them into your wardrobe. Many times the looks on the runway aren’t realistic to wear in everyday life. I will show you how to take it from runway to real way….or even better, how the Again girls take runway to the resale-way!

Some trends are everlasting, such as mixes of black and white. This season, designers are stepping it up a notch by using bolder stripes and louder patterns.

Chanel used a bold color block in their spring couture 2013 line. You can incorporate this look into your everyday attire by wearing a sold black dress with a white necklace or scarf.

STRIPES are also back, bigger than ever! This season, designers such as Marc Jacobs
were sending an extreme stripe down the runway. The striped maxi below dress can be
found at Again 2. Pair the striped dress with a bright scarf for a fresh spring look.

Black and white will forever be a consistent color during fashion week.
Here are some looks from Chanel, Dior, Jason Wu, & DKNY.

Again & Again 2 are full of trendy black and white dresses. Pair them up with a fur vest
and heels for a night out, or sandals and a headband for a more casual day out.  

One of my favorite trends this season is bright bold colors. Marc by Marc Jacob’s
entire collection was showcasing this new trend at New York Fashion Week:

Bright & Bold Forever 21, Anthropologie, & Material Girl dresses
seen below, can be found at Again and Again 2.

This Missoni for Target Coat can be found at Again 2.

Alexis Mabille Spring Couture 2013 line was full of lace and frills.
Another brand that is known for its flowy & frilly pieces is Free People,
which is shown on middle model below.
(Again 2 currently has quite the selection of Free People on the racks)  

One of the strongest looks this season is metallic. Shown below is a look from
Marc Jacobs’s collection along with a metallic dress and accessories found at Again2.

As spring rolls around, light and lacey fabrics take over the runway. Christian Dior
had a soft and delicate line this season which can be
duplicated with this lace dress from Forever 21.

Keeping up with the trends doesn’t always have to take a chunk out of your wallet. There are so many different ways to mix and match pieces you already have with an item or two to keep your wardrobe looking fresh. Both stores are full of fun spring pieces to mix into your clothing. Come into Again Consignment or Again 2 to have one of our Again Girl’s style you for spring 2013!
