TREND WATCH: AMERICANA (SPRING/SUMMER 2012)

With Spring 2012 just around the corner, it's time to look to the Runways and Celebrities for inspiration. Whether it be on the Lookbooks of Alexander McQueen, Dries van Noten or the racks of accessible retailers like Topman, one trend I keep noticing is the classic red, white and navy blue combination.

One Celebrity at the forefront of the Trend is Lana Del Rey, who proudly dons her Americana in her latest Video, Born to Die. The tri-colour and nautical stripe combination not only is bold, but also depending where you're from, is statement of Patriotism. Dig it.  

  Embrace colour.
