Spring Trends: 1960's Swing and Structure

Spring is coming...I promise!

So, here at MC we love seeing what vintage is inspiring today's fashion and every season, we see new trends that reflect yesterdays style. This Spring (2012) there is so much 1960's mod happening and we like it! From Valentino's more reserved boho/60's girlish vibe (middle photos) to Victoria Beckham's full on Mod swingin'(top header), there is lots to love this season. Marc Jacobs (2nd in on the bottom left) keeps the colour blocking going with minimalistic cuts and Alice and Olivia (bottom right) go full on vintage in pastel collection. 

If you are going for this look, take the cues from what is going on- this isn't Austin Powers. Be careful not to make it look too costume-like and keep accessories to a minim. I like that Valentino kept the hair and makeup fresh and youthful. Big and high buns in your hair are sticking around and beachy, wind blown waves (au natural).  When doing the cat eye, use a really high quality liquid liner to get the precise wing and keep the lips nude and skin peachy and youthful.
