Peekaboo Paris: See Through Runway

Jessica Lapidos — Sun, 02 Oct 2011 19:37:26 +0000

New York already cut it out, but now Paris is playing this game too. The game is Peek-a-Boo and the goal is to show enough without showing everything. These are little slits that come in slight shapes, some veiled, some open straight to skin. These open slivers are the sexiest pseudo-exhibitionist cuts to come off of the Paris runway.

Spring Ahead: Trends for 2010

Missa Stumpf, TrendSpotter/ Designer — Tue, 05 Jan 2010 14:37:06 +0000

If you are over winter and already looking forward to all the things that spring and summer bring, then get started with these three trends for the warmer months of this new year.

A drastic change from the bright and often neon colors that we saw this time last year, neutrals ran the runways. Designers like Erin Fetherston and Nina Ricci used a very soft color palette throughout their collections, so expect to see these simple colors around for awhile this year.

Max Azria’s and Marc Jacobs’ collections for the spring both incorporated cut-out designs. This peek-a-boo trend gives a very subtle sexy feel to an outfit. It also leaves room for a great layering effect when these cut-outs are worn above other pieces.

From brightly colored to more natural—feathers were seen in many designers’ collections. Chris Benz had a few pieces that featured multicolored feathers, while Chado Ralph Rucci used the feathers in a more elegant shade. Feathers can give a great and playful texture to an outfit. They can also be used to make a statement, like Chris Benz’ feather skirt seen here

TREND SPARK: Biker Shorts

Rihanna was rocking biker shorts clubbing last night out in London. Ok, Rihanna is a trend setter but I’m not sure how I feel about this 80′s throw-back. First of all I think her styling if off here, maybe peeking out of a lace dress or under some ripped and rolled jean shorts would work better. If you think you can pull this off, head to Shopbop. For $98 you can also incorporate the cut out trend into your 80′s inspired look.
