As I watched all the 2012 fashion shows this year I noticed a lot of trends that I haven't seen before, however this year there was a trend I was familiar with, and not just from wearing it myself, but from the 80's...Color blocking. Color blocking is a technique a lot of designers used this year on the runways, and it is a very wearable fashion for spring. Color blocking has been seen on stars like Nicki Minaji, Kim Kardashian,Leona Lewis, and Katy Perry. Its a style that uses bold colors in a mixed matched way to put together a perfect bright summer look.
