The latest from the catwalks

Be sure to ruffle feathers, but not your cool this spring and summer season – ruffles, frills and flounces are à la mode in a big way! Turns heads with a few flirty flounces and frills on shirts, skirts, bodice or hemline… but beware… all aspiring baby-dolls should keep in mind that this season’s ruffles must be teamed up with simple accessories. It’s about fashion flourish – not fashion flurry!

The leaders of the pack – Katy Rodriguez, See by Chloe, Fendi, 3.1 Phillip Lim, Vanessa Bruno, and Balenciaga – are of course trailblazing in the latest fun and feminine designer dresses and skirts. Some personal favorites include the simple yet effective casual chic draped tuck front skirt from Vanessa Bruno. A double layer burgundy tuck front with a mid-thigh hemline and front slit, this essential number is an all-season winner, to be worn night or day.

You’ll never be out of place in a gorgeous chambray dress with ruffle trim from Chloe. With its denim and red buttons, this dress is cute enough to wear casually, but with its daring dropped ruffled v-back, you’ll find it hard not to wear it out! An absolute, clear-cut success – this dress is a veritable must-have!

Yet trust Fendi to take on the ruffle look with elegance, in a way that can only be managed with chiffon! Fendi’s divine open-backed chiffon halter neck will ensure that you make an impact. The delicate chiffon pieces encircling the halter neck evoke the motion and texture of falling petals, the flutter of a butterfly’s wings. Simply stunning, this is one number that won’t fail in giving you that light and luscious appeal.

Team any of the above with a pair of towering heels or platform sandals from Christian Louboutin, and sling one of your best selection of designer handbags around your shoulder, and you’ll be ready to face this season.
