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


Print crazy
Pile it on! Stripes, dots, checks, illustrations, splashes and tribal patterns make for an eye-popping explosion.

Flower girl
Welcome to the power of the petal -- from tiny rosebuds to giant blooms -- as it blossoms into a flashy, splashy garden party.
Pictures left to right: Balenciaga, Dries Van Noten, Ralph Lauren



Sexy jersey & Jacket required
Jersey gets a post-modern-goddess revival with pleating, ruching and draping in everything from short tunics to flowing gowns.
Neat and tailored goes soft and slouchy for a feminine spin on the borrowed-from-the-boyfriend vibe for jackets.

Urban jungle
Expedition chic: that's the mission designers went on as they explored the safari jacket in satin, cotton and suede.
