From Catwalk to Bruin Walk: Alice + Olivia Spring 2018

The Alice + Olivia fashion show presentations are always able to deliver a glam, glitzy party girl meets cool girl vibe. The use of bold, graphic prints and vibrant colors that is consistently seen with Alice + Olivia was revamped to deliver these upcoming trends for Spring 2018.

Alice + Olivia Spring 2018 Ready-to-Wear: Look 7 

The Alice + Olivia fashion presentation for Spring 2018 starts out strong with bold, colorful floral prints on white background seen on dresses with ruffled layers and structured jackets. The looks of the presentation start to transition focus towards bold, vibrant colors. Look 7 follows the initial theme of vibrant floral print alongside pops of coral, a peek into the bursts of color that follow in the rest of the collection.

Here are some items that start to incorporate spring trends from the Alice + Olivia Spring 2018 collection on a more college student friendly budget:

Think Pink

 

 

Wide Leg Cropped Jeans + Floral Top + Blazer + Coral Heels

Coral and light hues of pink were a big component in multiple looks from the collection. Be on the lookout for items in these colors for this coming spring’s trends.

Embroidered Florals

Alice + Olivia Spring 2018 Ready-to-Wear: Look 12 

While florals for spring are not exactly a groundbreaking idea and embroidery details have been everywhere since last year. If the Alice + Olivia fashion show is any indication of what’s to come embroidery details do not seem to be leaving anytime. In the meantime enjoy the fashion trend wave and look out for items with floral embroidery for this spring. 

Here are some items that start to incorporate spring trends from the Alice + Olivia Spring 2018 collection on a more college student friendly budget:

Embroidered Boots + Embroidered Dress

For the bold and daring looking to step out of their comfort zones try to create a complete outfit that incorporates multiple items with embroidery detailing.

Embroidered Jeans + Red Blouse + Embroidered Blazer + Red Heels 

If the embroidery on embroidery look feels a little overwhelming try to create a color palette first to gain a better idea of how to coordinate multiple embroidery details into one look. In this case, the use of the color red is bold enough that it draws attention away from the floral detailing. But the inclusion of red in all of the embroidery is able to provide a sense of cohesion for the entire look.
