Neutral Colors Bloom at Fashion Week

Neutral Colors Bloom at Fashion Week
Michael Kors, Peter Som and Ports 1961 previewed spring collections at New York Fashion Week on Wednesday that were mostly shades of brown, beige and white, with touches of black for drama.

They were in line with the trend to move away from traditional springtime pastel colors and focus more on seasonless dressing that was seen on designer runways earlier in the week.

Nina Garcia of Elle magazine and TV's "Project Runway" said the collections she expects to really influence spring fashion were Proenza Schouler, Marc Jacobs, Oscar de la Renta, Phillip Lim and Kors.

Michael Kors: So many little girls dream of being a dancer. After Kors' Wednesday morning show, many big girls will dream of wearing dancer-inspired clothing.

To a soundtrack laced with music from the Broadway show "A Chorus Line," models went down the runway in full, fluid jersey skirts - the best ones, called "rehearsal skirts," were asymmetrical with a high slit on one side - and soft cashmere sweaters.
