Vintage Americana - Trend S/S 2012

"There’s hardly a decade that’s not being pawed and pulled at and picked apart for it’s sartorial gems."

It's fact, that most of the decades of the 20th century have celebrated their revival over the last few years. We saw the glamorous '70s, the swinging '60s, the roaring '20s and the elegant '40s.

Now we can add the '50s to the list and the vintage inspirations are near complete.

Prada has definitely set a hot trend for summer 2012 with their flame-back shoes and cartoon car bags.

Not only Prada has taken their inspiration for this season's collection from the '50s, we have seen many other designers on this year's Paris Fashion Week having the same idea.

Cat's-eye sunglasses in multiple shades and colours provide the perfect finishing touch - look to Bottega Veneta, Rochas and Nina Ricci.
