During their festive champagne and cupcake Spring Preview event, Michele Marie PR gave the media, celebrity stylists, and elite fashionistas a sneak peek at what’s hot for Spring/Summer 2011. It appears as if making ‘bold’ statements in fashion for spring/summer will be the trend – from bold, vibrant colors in jeans and jumpsuits, to bold, sassy messages on jewelry and handbags, to bold, flouncy hair accessories.

70’s Comeback
Thankfully, only the best of 70’s fashion trends are making a comeback this summer. Watch for jumpsuits, flared pants (modern terminology for the bell-bottom), and maxi dresses.
Here’s a rundown of what designer is doing which revamped 70’s trend:
Jumpsuits & Maxis –
Check out reality TV star and designer Kim Kimora’s line, Baby Phat, for an array of playful patterns and solids for your summer jumpsuit or maxi dress. Just last week, Abigail Spencer wore a Baby Phat romper out to a gala event. Baby Phat’s jumpsuits and maxi dresses are budget friendly but make you look like you’ve spent a bundle – only $69. www.babyphat.com
Claudia E, Ecuadorian-born designer, delivers a modern interpretation of the jumpsuit in animal patterns, muted colors and flowing silk. You can find Claudia E at Noni Boutique in LA. www.claudiae.com
Susie Rose, available at Wal-Mart, has simple cotton rompers and maxi dresses and skirts in vibrant colors accentuated with ruffles here and there for around $12.
Flared Jeans
Joe’s Jeans debuts the Skinny Micro Flare which co-mingles the sleek look of a skinny jean with an understated bell-bottom flair for a look that will make heads turn on the modern disco floor. www.joesjeans.com
Artisan de Luxe’s Destroyed Free Flare Jean is also an amalgamation of the current low-rise waist with a nod to the 70’s with the moderate flare. The distressed look of patches and holes gives them a groovy grunge look. www.artisandeluxe.com
Outspoken Accessories
Ban.do accessories always delivers fun, frivolity and now for spring/summer season– flowers. Huge, billowy silk flowers worn as a pin, hair accessory or even a shoe accent are new to their line of sparkly tiaras and headbands. www.shopbando.com
“Truly fabulous people never get dressed before lunchtime.” “I never miss a chance to have sex or appear on television.” “I found my inner bitch and ran with her.” Statements like these and other hilarious quibbles have made Jessica Kagan Cushman’s aka JKC line of jewelry and totes a runaway success. When you want to make a serious fashion statement this summer, slip on one of her accessories and you’re sure to be the buzz of the party.
