See all of our fashion month coverage »It’s official, Spring 2013 fashion month is over. And after receiving a daily dose of street style photos and runway updates, it would be silly for us to ignore the trends that we saw day after day (after day, after day). It’s hard not to fall victim to sensory overload, but thankfully our street style photographer, Stefania Yarhi, made it easy for us to pick and choose which trends we know we’ll be seeing all spring long. With hundreds of photos from Paris, Milan, London, New York, and Toronto at our disposal, we just couldn’t ignore the countless graphic tops (a day without a Balenciaga sci-fi sweater sighting was a total shocker), exposed bellies, suits, and mixed prints—so we didn’t because we’re positive they will be huge come Spring 2013. We’ve selected 10 of the biggest fashion trends from the streets and the runways and put them together in one place, so gets to clickin’. The leaves may just be starting to fall, but it’s never too early to plan for spring, right? (RIGHT!)

Designer DIY: Recreating Balenciaga’s covetable sci-fi sweater at a fraction of the price
Left: Photography by Farzin Ghayour. Right: Photography by Peter Stigter. No one does high-end sci-fi mash-ups better than Nicolas Ghesquière and Balenciaga Fall 2012’s outsized Star Wars meets Elizabethan England printed sweaters are just the latest indication. Otherworldly yet utterly wearable, we took the challenge of DIYing the look. To boot, we came in under $100 (ahem, the original is almost $4,000!)

Style Snaps Trends: 33 shots of leopard prints invading the Toronto streets
Photography by Lewis Mirrett Once synonymous with ’80s leotards and cougar-wear, the leopard print has become as classic as the LBD. After all, it’s kinda like black, white and grey for that matter—it goes with everything—it’s just a tad more interesting. Given the print’s popularity, it was no surprise to see it reigning supreme on the trendy Toronto streets in every form. Take in our full gallery and feel free to meow every so often in appreciation. We might do so too.
