The 64th Primetime Emmy Awards recently took place to honour the best on Television and as usual, it was glamorous gowns and black tuxedos with a few changes here and there. Here are some of the red carpet trends at the Emmys.

Sheer Panels. The incorporation of sheer panels on confections of dresses makes for the most naughty but innocent of looks and this is why celebrities can’t get enough of it especially for many a red carpet events.

Pops of Colour. There is nothing like wearing a colorful gown to stand out in the crowd. Colors from burgundy, Orange, Purple amongst others popped on the Emmys’ red carpet like never before.

Sunny Yellow. Yellow certainly came out to play as not more than three stars made an entrance on the carpet in various shades of this sunny color. Clearly, they all needed a mood pick me up and no colour does it better than yellow.

All shades Grey. Grey is the NEW black! The Emmys red carpet saw the various  shades of Grey from a lot of stars noting it as one of the colors for the season.

A Bow Tie Affair. The men looked dashing in their black tie whilst others gave us a few surprises in the changes made to the normal tuxedo. Variations were made to the bowtie and shirts in stead of the normal black and white tuxedo.

Embellishments. Sequins and beads sparkled on the Emmys red carpet as celebrities came decked out in the shiniest and metallic of gowns.

The MTV Video Music Awards honor the best and brightest of the music industry and are always an amazing show for lovers of fun fashion. Here’s a look at some of the trends that made it on the red carpet. 

Masculine Chic. The pantsuit is becoming a favorite amongst celebrities as it is no stranger to the red carpet lately.

 Sheer and lace. Sheer continues to gain popularity especially if you want to show off a bit of skin in the right places. Amber Rose showed off her baby bump in a sheer and lace number that hugged all the right curves.

 Smart Casual. There is nothing like dressing for comfort while trying to impress. The men pulled off the smart casual trend and did not disappoint.

Dashingly Dapper.
When in doubt, a suit is the way to go for men like some of The Wanted (band) boys.

Resort wear is clothing designed for trips to sunny warm climates in winter. Designers mix a bit of the previous fall/winter silhouettes with a sneak peak into the upcoming spring summer collections. Resort is usually for people who live in cold snowy places that go for a brief retreat somewhere warm as a welcome break and designers make special clothes for these holiday places such as Caribbean beaches, tropical islands, and for boat cruises through warm tropical seas.  Designers offered up a wealth of options with their Resort collections. Here is a look at the Resort 2013 runway trends. 

Lace. The feminine fabric has gotten an updated and modern look saturated in deep pinks, black and mixed with sheer. Lace dresses are sure to win over the most androgynous of dressers.

Short Shorts. Shorts will always be a favourite for the tropical beach crowd and this time was no different. Designers made them a wide and breezy to fit into the feel of the warm retreats that the holiday places are known for.

Peplum. Peplums, a carryover from the spring summer collections has proved to be a popular trend. The fall runways demonstrated its staying power and resort confirms its ongoing appeal. From denim to printed silks, peplum is here to stay.

Sheer White. Sheer white acting as a palate cleanser to the abundance of colour and patterns seen from past seasons is a welcome touch to the resort collections. 

Embellished Collars. Statement necklaces have been the go-to solutions to spice up simple Tees and dresses but these pieces have sparkle built in them. Beaded and Bejewelled necklines popped up on Tees, blouses and sheath dresses that paraded down the runways.

The month of January always brings round one of the biggest events in the fashion industry especially for designers and clients alike. It marks the beginning of Fashion Week where designers showcase their latest collections on the most glamorous runways. From Paris to Milan. Fashion Week manages to forecast trends for the different seasons.
Here are some of the trends straight off the Fashion Week Runways.
Geometric Prints. Unlike last years’ very floral prints, this year the prints have gone Geometric. Bold, colorful prints with a hint of Asian style and cut have been incorporated into so many designers runway collections, but I must say that Mary Katrantzou had the most gorgeous assembly of prints in her collection and they worked beautifully.

Sheer beauty. Sheer slowly picked up late last year and designers don’t seem to get enough of it. The display of sheer creations on the runway was simply beautiful and to die for especially the embellished sheer collections.

Christian Dior S/S12

Embellishments. If you are a fan of glitter, sequins and all things beautiful, you will love this year’s runway collections. Gowns embellished with floral appliques, glass and feathers were bountiful on the runway proving that every girl no matter how old can enjoy a little bit of shine and shimmer.

Dolce & Gabbana S/S12

White on White. This primary color has made its mark as one of the IT colors for this season. Models walked the runways in snowy white creations from head to toe almost making it a winter wonderland.

Blugirl F/W12

Sorbet Colors. Bright bold colors were really huge last season and still appeared in some of this year’s Fashion Week collections. What I loved most was the display of cool sorbet colors on the runway making it a welcome sight for really sore eyes.
