5 styles, trends highlighted at Provo Fashion Week

'Gold has been a big trend lately,' Workman said. 'We saw a lot of gold in this collection, but it's toned down a lot more to almost like a silver-gold. There was also a lot of silver, which is also something we saw in New York Fashion Week, so I think that is going to be a big (trend), moving into silver from gold.'

Sequins were also a very prevalent feature at Provo Fashion Week, with many of the designers including sequins on elegant evening gowns, shirts and high-waisted skirts. The sequins were not the large, gleaming variety from the 1960s, but rather were small, matte sequins that added texture to the clothing.

Haunted Head Fashion creator and designer Rebecca Fenton used a lot of sequins in her pieces as a way to add femininity to bold clothing.

'I like the idea that women are very strong and tenacious, but at the same time don't lose their compassion and don't lose their femininity and nurturing,' Fenton said. 'I think women are powerful in their own right without taking on masculine qualities. ... using femininity like lace and sequins and dresses (without) a hard edge to it.'

Many of the designers included silk flowers to accessorize dresses and hair, and Workman said she thinks floral headpieces and wreaths are a big trend with bridal and evening wear.

'It was on the dresses and in the styling,' Workman said. 'We saw a lot of the floral. I don't think that's going away anytime soon. For bridal, (the flowers) are a big one.'

The next biannual fashion week was announced for March 5-7, 2015.
