Fashion Week

Paris/Milan/London and New York Fashion week untill now have only been amazing. To my opinion Paris is doing the best this year. Certainly Paris always has that certain sophistication, but this year it has that extra touch of creativity, although my favorite shows this year were those of Marchesa, Dolce & gabbana and Dior. Models look stunning and the fashion gets better next spring than it was for a long time. It looks joyful, fresh, but also chic and elegant. There's mixtures of fabrics like leather and chiffon, but also cotton and even plastic. We've seen many suit like outfits. Current key trends that have been spotetd simultanuously on the runway are; maxidresses, high waisted hotpants, suits, loose fittings, see-through skirts, longer sleeves, knee lenght dresses, high-neckline shirts with wide shoulder necklike, weirds structures, tectures and mixed prints, a-symmatric silhouettes and bare tummies. Everything gets more swirly than the straigned outfits of this season. We get a look back into the twenties where women emancipated themselves and started wearing shorter dresses and even trousers. The flapper dress makes its comeback and boyish outfits look stunning. But also the fifties are returning. Post-war fashion such as swirling skirts, white blouses, florals and high heels create much more hapiness in the Spring/Summer 2012 fashion season. Late 1950s A-line silhouettes have also found a place in the collections. Colours like yellow, orange and pinkish red have coloured the runway. But also simplistic silhouettes in traditional black&white, beige and navy gave an additional chic and formal edge to it. It represents a sophisticated emancipated woman.
