Neil Barrett is going for a gothic, punk edge with his collection. In a beat of shrunken vests and tight black pants, the collection is looking very glam rock.
For those whose favorite part of spring is the seasonal flowers, floral patterns is another huge trend for this spring.
Think bouquets of hydrangeas and lilies splattered throughout a pencil skirt or sundress.
While Aquascutum had strategically placed flowers throughout their collection, Christian Lacroix had an abstract of different, bright floral patterns splashed on dressy pieces for his collection.
Many designers are always keeping up with the trends.
"Marc Jacobs collections are always inspired by something completely different. Very unique," said Millard.
Boscia has a different take on designers' keeping up on style.
"I think some designers' can be too trendy, like Juicy Couture. Everyone has Juicy Couture!" said Boscia.
Another MCC fashion student, Kayla Szeliga, does love fashion but does not like to follow the trends so much.
"I think trends are for people who don't have their own style," Szeliga said.
Indeed, many of these designers' clothes are quite pricey ranging from $300 to $3,000 for some pieces.
Students though can easily find the same trends at other stores for a more afforable price.
