Fab Recap Week of Dec. 17, 2012

This was a week of goodbyes, but there were also a lot of exciting changes in the fashion world. We bid farewell to one of the most stylish TV shows, Gossip Girl, and to wrap up 2012, we took a look back at the best of this year's trends, street style, and red-carpet moments. We learned that Michael Kors will not be returning to Project Runway next season, and in his stead, Zac Posen will join the famous panel of judges. And, aside from our awesome gift guides, shopping stories, and celebrity coverage, we're keeping you in the know about what shapes, prints, and colors to fill your closet with in 2013. Yes, the year may be at its end, but there will never be a dull moment at Fab.

Our Ultimate Color Trend Breakdown — Fresh From NYFW Spring 2013


Updated Dec 22 2012 - 9:00pm · Posted by · 0 comments

The Spring 2013 trend breakdown continues, only this time, in technicolor. While we fully expected to see a spectrum of bright, bold hues come down the runway, what we didn't expect was a serious mix of luxurious navy blues, icy grays, and jeweled purples to tag along. Not that we're complaining. Among the ROYGBIV runway standouts? Oscar de la Renta's shocking pink, Rag & Bone's neon green, Phillip Lim's rich cobalt blue, Michael Kors's saturated lemon yellow, Alexander Wang's crisp blacks and whites, and Proenza Schouler's lacquered-up red. In short, Spring's vibrant forecast already has us dreaming of ways to style up an outfit that perfectly reflects its rainbow hues. Click through now to experience our ultimate color trend breakdown firsthand.
