From looking at Marc Jacobs spring 2012 collection, you can see some definite trends popping up. A big thing this year is the flapper, drop-waist, boxy shape dresses and blazers. Also, he incorporates a lot of cream, as well as mixing in some bright 1960's shades. Also, the hair is done up all high and teased, like Jackie O, but stays funky with a bandana. 
Another designer I looked to this spring was Diane von Furstenburg. Again, here we can see the drop-waist style, as well as the 60's colors, and cream. There are thicker fabrics here, and big prints, which has been a big trend this fall, too. The Jackie O hair is done here, as well.
Calvin Klein can also be seen incorporating these styles, as well. He also does the cream, but in a lighter, loose, and layered way, as most of his spring collection is. This is seen with his light vests, and slip-dresses, which is a great way to be conservative with your clothing. My grandmother recently gave me all of her old slips and I wear them with a belt–they're great for hot days. His hair is more 70's, split directly down the middle and left loose, light, and creamy to match the clothing. He also does very much salmon. Another thing I've been seeing lately that he does, as well as Michael Kors and other designers, is the matching shirt and maxi skirt. I saw someone today wearing such an outfit and it looked great. She had a long, bright, patterned skirt, and she had a peplum top with it that matched. Sounds crazy, but it's actually awesome. This works with shorts, too, which I have been seeing often. It's a short of romper, split down the middle. Rompers, and jumpsuits, as seen above, are still making their way down the runway this season.
The last designer with the most oomph this spring, I found, was in fact, Michael Kors. I was surprised to see his clothing so out of the box. He mixed the Navajo pattern style with a sort of army chicness, as well as incorporating Roman accents. He plays with a lot of bold patterns, animal prints, and the whole split romper concept I talked about above. The hair is also long and loose and parted in the middle. He mixes patterns, as well, and has a lot of heavy, big pieces.
So, these are all styles that we'll be seeing a lot of this season: creamy tones, split rompers/maxi skirt suits, Jackie O hair, 70's hair, bold patterns, 60's colors and many more great trends. For once, things that look good are in style! Some other trends I've noticed are peplum skirts and tops, nude heels (always an essential), mullet hems, pastels, and the Navajo print we've all been enjoying from Urban Outfitters and Forever 21. Can't wait to see these styles on the move!
