Spring/Summer 2008 runway report

Our style report comes to your rescue for the hottest trends this spring and summer.

By Denis Desro & Anthony Mitropoulos


Navy blue
Not sure? Think again. Deep, dark midnight hues are the new chic in black dressing.

Neutral zone
If you can't wear spring's brights, say hello to the new neutrals in varying shades: grey -- from dove to charcole -- and beige -- from sand to tan.

Organza
One part easy chic with a helping of floaty froth -- organza romanced the runways as the top fabric choice.

Sheer delight
Designer wrapping take on a new meaning as organza, tulle and chiffon are layered over prints to create a dramatic effect.

Watercolours
Don't apologize! Be girlie in fashion's romantic fling with dreamy, transparent washes of pink, yellow, mint and blue.
