Can anyone guess why I love the 80's (not really) for S/S 09?
Shoulder pads of course!
(Caution: Skip ahead if you have a great hate for shoulder pads. I know how you feel.)
I would say the greatest offender of the shoulder pad trend would be Balmain (strong, strong, strong!) and Proenza (Balenciaga, much?). Mizrahi comes pretty darn close because his whole collection for S/S just seethes the 80's.
Let's face it though, isn't this 80's trend pretty predictable? Fashion often reflects the times, for F/W we saw a lot of hippie/bohemian chic, and now the 80's? These trends are an obvious reflection of the economy and the times.
Anyways, onwards!
Body-con, bondage-esque dresses also seem to be pretty popular for S/S 09.
Rodarte gives a more softer and feminine touch to the body binding trend.
A somewhat similar trend on the S/S '09 runways are various outlines:
Personally, I think it looks great with suits!
That's all for now, enjoy.
