The third annual San Francisco Fashion Week wrapped on Saturday night, ending five days' worth of sleekly produced yet refreshingly humble runway shows from some of the Bay Area's top up-and-coming designers. While the San Francisco event is a far cry from the exclusive haute couture of New York Fashion Week, the evenings' shows highlighted a distinctly artsy, West Coast glam and plenty of trends to keep an eye on in the coming months. Over the next few days on Fabsugar, I'll be highlighting my picks for the most promising collections; until then, here are some of the prevailing themes from the runways:
- Bubble everything. The cutesy gathered look isn't just for knee-length skirts anymore. SF's runways featured everything from bubble shorts to bubble miniskirts to poufy camisoles.
- Strong 1940s influences. Tie-front satin blouses, side-swept hair, and high-buttoned tops evoke a sexy cinematic look.
- Unexpected color combinations. Mint green with burgundy and butter yellow with tobacco brown make for refreshingly novel springtime palettes.
- Brass buttons and gold accents. Hold on to your Fall gold hues; you might just get to reuse them this spring, paired with bright pastels.

All these waaaay ahead of time fashion shows always make me feel like I can't WAIT for next season. We're not even into Fall yet!
The 40's influence sounds exciting.
1I just got invited to NYC Fashion Week!! By my best friend, but I'm going, b*tches!! It's the weekend before my birthday, so it should be a good time.
2I'm so jealous! That should be a blast, Peep!!
3You're gonna start planning what you're going to wear NOW, aren't you? Ha ha ha. I would.
4I did. I told my mom and she went out and bought the fashion edition of InStyle, gave it to me and said: Don't be offended, but maybe you should take a look at this.
5LOL Gotta love Moms.
6But, you can wear some crazy avant garde stuff that you could NEVER wear strolling through the commissary. Ooooh, tell us all about what you pick!
7Oh I will! I don't know yet... I'm kind of worried. She says plaid is set to be 'in.' Yikes.
8This all sound great and I feel a little jeaulousy coming up...
I wish you a hell
lot of fun at NY Fashion Week !!
