Chic is a new ‘must have’ for summer 2008. Love is in the air and romantic nostalgia fills when it comes to women’s wardrobe.
The focal point of the new season’s fashion is the silhouette, freely molded and shaped with layers of fabric, asymmetrical cuts, pleats, ruching in a crossover mood between yesterday and today.
A burst of colours, embroidery and lace invade the women’s wardrobe. She begins by wearing luscious lingerie petticoats adorned with leather belts at the hips and skimpy dresses with masses of pointed ruffles. With a touch of romance, knitted minidresses flaunting roses and gym-chic jumpers and sweatpants in luxe versions. Short lengths with mini hems predominate and many styles of fade shorts for evenings are enhanced by long kaftans covered in sparkling sequins.
Dresses are the protagonists of Spring-Summer 2008. Look for soft and slippery fabrics with transparent and translucent textures that slide to highlight the revival of the tracksuit. The prints as always are dictating their rules. Rich fabrics full of vertical and horizontal stripes that play with a desire for graphic lines that takes the lead. Macro geometric patterns and huge flowers will be popular this season, bringing couture femininity to a woman’s revitalizing look.
Highlights of this season:
GREAT IMPRESSIONS. Look for colors and contrast. Red, yellow, green, black, white, and pink will do. Disproportionate prints, but elegant and chic. Feel free to pair it with a heavy cotton jacket or a pair of leggings.
RUFFLES and RUCHES will bring a playful and innocent look to any woman. Long or short dresses, with empire waist and adorned with pinups, large flowers. Wear them for any social occasion you may have: cocktail party or dreamy prom. Frivolous crochet, romantic prints, stylized plants and charming embroidery are also on the list for this summer. This season’s SIGNATURE DRESS is the ONESHOULDER dress. The asymmetrical cut accentuates femininity and adds a touch of seduction.
Accessories are declared as ‘essential’ in every look. Go wild with bags: extra-large versions to look stylish and confident, and extra-small for a more sophisticated feel. Don’t forget about pearls, necklaces, cuffs, scarves and belts. And of course, every woman’s favourite, ‘The Shoes’. High heels are ‘a must have’ for this summer. These shoes are already doing all the work for you. They do their job of lengthening and showing off their legs, then the rest is just play. The wedges are excavated and lighter, showing a sculpted empty space. Sandals, also for the day, with shiny sequins or split leather in contrast with fluorescent sparkles with reflective effects. Ankle straps that wrap like spirals will be in high demand. Disproportionately elongated platform heels and peep toe styles with half-moon cut-outs. Do not forget about the stilettos, curvaceous, profiled and biased. As for the evening look, let yourself be pampered with a pair of beautiful shoes decorated with jewels and embroidery and covered with pearls and crystals.
