Designers Shoulder On For Spring

December 11, 2008  11:15 am

Skin is in for Spring, but in unexpected, subtle ways. At Balenciaga, dresses were paired with Lurex gloves and shoe-covering tights; only a lone collarbone was left exposed. Meanwhile, the asymmetric evening gowns that have ruled the red carpet for seasons have been replaced by long columns with billowy chiffon sleeves cut to reveal just a flash of the upper arms. Do modest times call for modest dresses? Preen’s Justin Thornton thinks so. “I love how a shoulder can be sexy,” he said. “These outfits have a ‘look but don’t touch’ attitude.”

  1. I personally LOVE asymmetric, shoulder baring silhouettes and am thankful a smart BFF told me where to find truly convertible bras and functional shapewear to pair underneath these tricky looks — every chic woman should put sites like http://www.BareNecessities.com on their radar screen, for their real life solutions for fashion’s biggest obstacles!

  2. I personally love this style. I think it shows the skin enough to be elegant and sexy at the same time. I like the tights because that way it reduces the amount of skin that is shown. The best thing I love about this collection is the shoulder showing,because I think that the upper part of the body is the mot sexiest and isn’t shown much in all the women.

  5. excellent pattern making…just hoped the inside corset would not be showing from the left chest…would have given the perfect neatness…
