Pastel Colors Hit Forefront @ Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week Ms. Bels Thursday, February 23, 2012 The Runway, What's Hot, What's Not The 2012 Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week went underway, February 9-16, in New York’s Bryant Park area. Fashion designers throughout the U.S. and internationally, all showcased new designs of their Spring 2012 collection. While scanning through the official website, I noticed a trend in most collections. In opposite contrast to dark hues seen on many models, there were quite a bit of pastel coloured garments. I guess its safe to say that pastels are what we should expect to see in the spring/summer months. Check out a few of the haute looks that hit the runway : J.
