Bold Accents

Marchesa
Versace
Carolina Herrera
Asian fashion has been known for some eccentric, but bold fashion trends. (Think Japanese Street Fashion girls) However, a pop of color, or large pattern is great contrast to the so many feminine styles that are popular in the 'East'.
Slouchy Tops
Spotted on Runways of:
Anna Sui
Christian Siriano
Oscar de la Renta
John Galliano
Slouchy sounds ill-fitting and messy right? Wrong. Slouchy Blouses and Shirts are now so popular because it can be a great fashion piece. Generally worn with a very fitted bottom to offset the 'sloppy' aspect, it has become a staple in Asian Fashion.
Big Bows
Spotted on Runways of:
United Bamboo
Cynthia Rowley
Phillip Lim
John Galliano
Bows are cute, elegant and feminine. Whats not to like? The bigger the bow, the more dramatic it becomes, which can really modernize and 'fashionize' an outfit instantly. Bows are everywhere in Asia, in so many styles.
Pretty Pastels
Spotted on Runways of:
Donna Karen
Marchesa
Naeem Khan
Alberta Ferretti
Pastels are gorgeous when applied properly. Asian designers have been known to blend sheer pastels with unexpected shapes and colors.
Exotic Patterns
Spotted on Runways of:
Fendi
Jason Wu
Alexander Wang
Valentino
Naturally Asian designs would use elements of exotica or exotic patterns, but its not what you'd expect. There are no tigers or sushi, but there are some beautiful and exotic designs.
