My pick of next season's trends:
Fringing
In every material (though think plastics especially) and on everything:
Fringing
In every material (though think plastics especially) and on everything:

Marine
No, not the navy, but sea-life! This theme turned up in several collections, but my favourite was Versace's polished-girl version (see http://turquoise-pink.blogspot.com/2011/09/milan-fashion-week-super-shows.html):
Versace
Blue
Following on from the aquarium, blue will be the colour to be seen in. Turquoise was the (and my!) favourite hue on the catwalk, but wear several shades together and you'll be waves ahead of everyone else:
MaxMara
Tropical Colours
Okay, so if you don't wear blue, wear every other bright colour under the sun!
Roberto Cavalli
Gold-Leaf
Add the Midas touch to your outfit a la Alexander McQueen:
Alexander McQueen
High-Cut Shorts
Practically underwear, but I'm sure everyone will get over that pretty quickly come May:
Balenciaga
Diamante
...and beads, and sequins:
Prada
Pale Embellished Jeans
Humble denimn, but the beautiful kind:
Christopher Kane
Crop Tops
Hello 90s!
Prada
Vegetable Patch
Have fun with fruit and vegetables next Spring:
Moschino Chip & Chic
Rafia mini-trend:
Moschino Chip & Chic
Broderie Anglaise
Giant, that is:
Louis Vuitton
White Cotton
Sometimes the simplest things are the prettiest:
Nina Ricci
Sporty Mesh
The new chic:
Stella McCartney
Sports Luxe
Athletic yet effortlessy cool (for more see http://turquoise-pink.blogspot.com/2011/09/spring-summer-2012-trends-rag-bone.html):
Rag & Bone
Split Skirts
These are going to be so great and easy to wear:
Peter Som
Pyjamas
Well, I could say the same about these...I wonder if they'll be accepted as street wear? Worth a shot...
Richard Nicoll
The Quilted Clutch
On my to-buy list:
D&G
Iridescent Shine
Is Chanel's show (http://turquoise-pink.blogspot.com/2011/10/fantasy-fashion-chanel-ss-2012.html) inspiration enough for you?
Chanel
For now though, bring the colder temperatures!
