Victoria Beckham, a former Spice Girl, unveiled her latest dress collection at the New York Fashion Week and she revealed that she was inspired by comic book detective Dick Tracy when she came up with the collection.

She said that her own personal style has evolved, gearing toward more relaxed designs but stressed that they are still structured just the same.

Aside from Beckham, prominent New York designers Alexander Wang and Jason Wu also revealed their autumn / winter 2010 and 2011 collection. Wu is known for being the favorite designer of US first lady Michelle Obama. He featured an attractive collection of shirts, dresses and jackets that have colors ranging from orange, brown, grey and black.

Alexander’s collection, on the other hand, mostly geared on grey and black trousers.
The New York Fashion Week is currently ongoing.

Nonprofit international association of designers Color Marketing Group (CMG) once again revealed some fashion trends in fabric colors that are expected to hit major retail outlets in the near future.
Here are the colors to watch:
Blue: Popular shades are sky and a title=Blue water shopping water blues. However, they said that any blue color would really fit well in everyone’s style.
Purple: A really popular fashion color for this year. In fact, it’s been featured since late 2008 as a preview or teaser. It perfectly works as a neutralizer and attracts appreciative attention.
Yellow: Yes, the color is back in the limelight. According to CGM designers, the bleak economy really needs brightening up. So if it’s not going to be by money, it can be done through clothing clothing. Wearing yellow emanates a cheerful color – a ray of hope during these hard times.
White: The ever-reliable color white is the new “in” thing in the corporate world. White fabric installed in corporate offices gives an impression of professionalism and a friendly environment for the employees.
Gray: This color is also an appropriate shade during these hard times. Black, according to the designers, seems a little harsh and gives a negative statement. Gray is fine, they added.
