Blue Monday

Marc Jacobs' Sp 2010 collection thrills onlookers/AP Photo: Seth WenigDay five at fashion week and one thing is certain, last year's bright blue hues will carry on through Spring 2010 as several designers showcase looks featuring everything from powder to cobalt. In addition to the beautiful blues, there were several stand out trends throughout the day including:

60's and 70's retro dresses with the occasional star trek reference amused audiences at Zac Posen. Full slideshow here.

Cut-outs, inserts, and 80's era lamé covered nearly every style at Jill Stuart, causing us to once again pray for the end of the 80's trend. Full slide show here.

and mature bone, brick, and gold tones created a cohesive collection at Carolina Herrera which reminded fans that not ever label is desperate to capture the hipster market. Full slide show here.
