Some of the key looks of the year were:
Colour blocking: The year began with ballet-inspired clothing, but this was soon replaced on the spring runways with the trend of the colour blocking. This look, defined by fashion gurus as "big blocks of solid colour in bold and vibrant shades set against a minimalist silhouette" was an instant hit. Worn by celebrities like Kim Kardashian, Cheryl Cole, Jessica Alba and several other Hollywood A-listers over the warmer months, this look was soon on top of the must-have charts for women across the world.

A big hit ever since it arrived on the scene, this will be a huge look through the party season and early next year too.
The flatform: For those who couldn't decide between wearing flat shoes and platforms, voila the flatform! This trend, which arrived early in the year, was welcomed by fashionistas who were happy to give their weary feet some rest. The flatform, which is essentially a flat sandal elevated on a platform heel, is supposed to be a geisha-inspired look and the comfort it affords the wearer should have made it an instant hit. But women who were still in love with their skyscraper heels gave this huge trend a quick miss and the flatform had only a brief sojourn in the limelight.
Coloured denims: Lovers of the original denim, in its many shades of blue, might have considered this trend sacrilege, but it arrived with a bang on the fashion scene this year. Hollywood celebs went crazy about the look and soon, it was denim trousers in shades of sunshine yellow, mint green, sultry scarlet, pretty pink and cool tangerine that were spotted everywhere. These bright coloured denims when paired with solid whites looked stunning.
Animal prints: Fashion hit the wild side by going overboard on animal prints this year. The prints encompassed a number of animals like cheetahs, leopards,burberryhandbags as rich regain appetite for shopping. tigers and giraffes to name a few. But the biggest trend within this trend was the footwear that took inspiration from animal prints too. The snake-skin print, the mock croc look, the cheetah patterns on the shoes made dressing up much more fun.
Mix and match prints: It was also the year to throw out some of the rules in the style book. Mixing and matching prints and florals, which was a complete no-no some years ago, came of age this summer. And so those who loved to experiment with sartorial trends went wild with excitement as they combined geometric motifs with nautical stripes, tribal prints with floral patterns, polka dots with animal prints, checks with digital graphics and much more. It was like having your own fashion canvas and splashing it with all the prints you could imagine. And though there was always the danger of getting the look wrong, who cared, as long as it was all about having fun and being fashionable at the same time.
Lace: This beautiful fabric was used in many different mediums this year, with vintage, bohemian, coloured and lingerie inspired lace. Lace dresses, and lace embellishments or appliques in shoes and handbags were a must-have. Even today, this look will continue to turn heads whenever it is worn and styled appropriately.
