Fashion: Spring 2001

Vibrant colors are stepping into the limelight as retro style continues to hold strong in Spring 2001 fashion. It's not just about the 80's anymore. This season will bring about a fashion revolution that will pull inspiration from the 20's, 50's, and 70's.

Models recently took to the runways in the latest fashions, and they were adorned in many innovative combinations of past styles. BCBG and Catherine Malandrino drew their inspiration from the 1920's, an era characterized by its relatively risque fashion designs. In the 1920's skirts were shortened and neck lines dropped; Spring 2001 promises similarly revealing lines in the world of women's fashion. Oscar de la Renta, Daryl K, Pamela Dennis, and many others have brought back the ultra-mini skirt. The knee length skirts that graced the catwalk only a couple years back are being pushed aside for more daring designs. Ladies, it's time to be bold. Demonstrate your personality with a new wardrobe that is a testament to your self-confidence and outgoing nature.

The Gucci men's collection brought back the flared pant leg popularized in years past, and it stepped away from traditional Gucci black and into a colorful Spring line. Don't be surprised by the bold shades that will temporarily replace the dark leather and fur that we were all wearing this Winter. Even men's fashion is taking a turn towards a bright future. Traditional black, blue, and white men's shirts are being replaced by more vivid colors. Gucci's men strutted down the runway in bright red and floral prints, which are reminiscent of 70's style.

The 50's are making their place in the fashion world as well. Yes, this season's eclectic mix of designs will allow fashion connoisseurs to express their personalities in a variety of ways. It's all about 40's and 50's military apparel. Women can expect to see a wide selection of military-esque accessories in their favorite stores, and men will undoubtedly notice more conservative and tailored suit collections when they are searching for the perfect dress up fashions.

All in all, this season is an ideal time for women and men to explore numerous fashion possibilities. There are no rules to follow, so dare to be different. Show your own colorful tastes in fashion with the latest styles that are sweeping across the globe.
