Whats Hot in 2008! Fashion Trends

BY CORAL PLEAS

Cuts
2007 was such a big year and we will see a similar feel for 2008. While 2007 introduced us to the Pob (Posh Bob), we will be seeing a lot more bobs in 2008.

Fringe is back!- the fringe trend was brought back this year! Kate Moss has been seen wearing a new fringe that we see being big this year.

A sleek side part dominated the runways for spring and summer 2008

Masculine cuts also hit the runway in 2008! Agyress Deyn's trademark boyish crop was the perfect background for creating this style. We're not expecting this to be too mainstream but picked up by more alternative types.

This year's Hair trends will range from the boyish short crops to natural long tresses with the bob in between!

Colour

Get Dirty - Its time to get down and dirty because dirty blondes have more fun. An overly natural look will be trendy for 2008; this is brought back by models like Caroline Trentini and Jessica Stam.

Ice is in- Much like the Dirty Blondes colour trend, Platinum's another way to sex up blondes for 2008. Its best suited for Spring/Summer.

Auburn is the new Red- We have noticed a massive increase in popularity of auburns. You can also turn burgundy and maroons, Picking colours that mix well with reds and browns for a natural finish. We will see more of this color in the fall and winter catwalks on models like Chris Hans.

For Men- "Blondes for men" says celebrity stylist and inventor of the Pob , Ben Cooke "We should not be aiming at white or platinum but it should be close, aim for something brighter!"
