In addition to the regularly scheduled designers that show at Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week, IMG works to bring unique shows to the venue. Fashion Shenzhen is always a delight, as it features fashion designers from China. Fashion is a universal industry, and it’s amazing to see styles and design aesthetics from around the world. The Fashion Shenzhen designers featured looks made in shiny and sheer fabrics. They also favored highly embellished gowns with lots of sequins.

Custo Barcelona featured abstract prints and perforated fabrics. Vivienne Tam incorporated palm tree prints into her collection, continuing the popular tropical prints theme we’ve been seeing over the last couple of days. Cesar Galindo used metallic and sequin fabrics in his collection.

All white ensembles are still popular going into Day 4. Nanette Lepore featured a few all white looks, but the favored color for her collection was yellow. Yellow shoes, yellow-based prints and solid yellow dresses, Nanette let us know that yellow will be trending for spring, and she’s not the only one. Czar by Cesar Galindo also featured yellow in his collection, along with greens, pastel oranges and metallics. Victoria Beckham’s spring collection was heavy on neutral colors of tan, black and white. Victoria even featured an oxblood hue that is typically reserved for fall.
HAIR
For the most part (no pun intended), there have been two major trends for hair: braids or slicked back and loose. High ponytails continue to be another popular spring look.
ACCESSORIES
When it comes to accessories, the bigger the better! The Czar collection featured bold, colorful necklaces that would make the wearer the center of attention in any room.
