Seems like this Spring 2013.season started way early in stores this season and pushed out those Winter sales dressing us in Spring's beiges, whites, dots and ruffles already now when it is still quite cold outside.
 
Karl Lagerfled said couple of years back: "The future of fashion is 6 months" , I would actually upgrade and fast forward this statement saying that fashion industry now became such a fast pace industry that now with resort, pre-season and regular season collection launches it's turn around period is 2-3 months which is quite a big challenge both for creative teams but also sales and distribution teams.

This again leads to unavoidable trend in fashion which is - bringing back and upgrading traditional cuts, fabrications and patterns. After covering Spring 2013. color trends white & yellow, with this post I am covering polka dots trend which I like and can imagine myself wearing if dots are really small white on black and ruffles trend which for me is an upgrade of overused peplum trend in last two fashion seasons.


Here are some of my favorite polka doted and ruffled designed pieces with my absolute favorite being Stéphane Rolland, Gucci and Balenciaga.

What about you ladies, are you up for ruffles, polka dots or both? :)

 They came to fashion in late 60's in the retro age, and since never left the runways and I apsolutely love them!


The fact is that not everybody can wear ruffles. My friend Carl often made fun of my opsession with floral print, ruffles and color purple - but here you go Carl :) I was right all along! 


Some of us can simply sense the upcoming fashion trends seasons ahead! Guess I am living much ahead of my time.
