It can be refreshing to revisit a simpler time when a feminine silhouette dominated and dressing down didn’t mean your favorite distressed weekend jeans. I’m talking about the chic silhouettes of 1940s vintage-inspired dresses.
The holidays are over and we’re about to settle into the long, dark stretch of winter doldrums. And despite the short days and painfully cold nights, now is the best time to dive headfirst into those sumptuous winter fabrics we’ve been saving for just this occasion. And if winter fabrics were a kingdom, then velvet would be queen.
I spotted the 40s trend many times on the Fall 2016 runways and noticed the look popping up again and still going strong for Spring 17. So it is pretty safe to say this trend is here to stay for a while. It’s easy-to-wear for most body types and works for all ages
August is here which means, like it or not, back-to-school season is around the corner! Luckily, long gone are the days of dreading a new classroom or nervously hoping you’ll like your new teacher. Nowadays, back-to-school time signals the coming of fall and, even better, fall fashion! DKNY paid a special homage to the days of no more teachers, no more books with a back-to-school themed Spring 2016 show that even us grown ups could study up on.
