Las Vegas Trends: Pop Goes Spring

"Girls just wanna have fun" could be the fashion mantra this Spring as prints, neon brights and an '80s revival lighten up Fall's serious mood. That was the look designers presented at the recent Las Vegas trade shows, which ran Aug. 20-23. And in true '80s style, it was a colorful affair. From pastels to printed denim and ethnic patterns, the look was all about eye-catching fashion. For those who prefer a clean aesthetic, bold and bright accessories made the fashion statement. Here are the key looks of the season.

Totally '80s

Bleached denim, high-top sneakers and bustiers-think '80s icons such as Cyndi Lauper and Madonna to inspire the fashion set for Spring.

Print Party

Continuing from Spring '12, prints are making a fashion statement all their own. A variety of eye-catching designs turned up on denim and ready-to-wear and especially matched sets.

Spring's softer side comes in a pastel palette. Think South Beach chic as designers add sherbet shades to clothing and accessories.

The waist is Spring's erogenous zone. From bustier tops to corsets and peplums, the waist is a cinch.
