The recently concluded Milan Fashion Week and London Fashion Week have sprung an array of fresh and new trends to be adorned in the Spring/Summer of twenty-fifteen.

An overview of the patterns, shades or colors, fabrics, and graphics and inspirations that will be popular for the Spring Summer of 2015 are as follows.

The four key looks to be coming up and will be calling out the fashion cards are Thrift shop, Artisanal, New age Pop, and Streamline. A closer encounter with these looks will provide an insight into what to expect from Spring Summer fashion in 2015. The thrift shop look is the biggest highlight for the spring 2015. It is essentially a blend of vintage subdued color palettes and kitschy burst of colors in the form of conversational prints. The fabrics used to present the color riot of this look are crisp poplin, French terry, charmeuse, and suede. Animal prints and cat and bird prints will be seen on coats, full dresses, skirts, and tops.
