Spring '09 TREND: Asymetrics

Phew! Now that I have done all the reviews I intend to do (if I attended your show, and did not review you, I apologize...I'm only one person!), I shall set my sights to outlining trends for you.

My friends always ask me after fashion week about the trends, So I would be happy to digest all that I have seen and put together tidy little summaries.

Trend one: Asymetrics. Mostly seen around the neckline for at least one or two pieces at the majority of the shows that I attended.

My interpretation is that it's important to keep people on their toes. When someone sees you walk into a room, you want to knock them off their balance, you want to be mysterious and unpredictable, you want to show a small amount of skin as a small tease without giving away the whole game. So take these principles with you when you dress in the morning or for a night out. No, you don't necessarily need to go out and buy a new dress. Why not alter a tank top or t-shirt? Or simply wear an off the shoulder number just draped jauntily to the side. Or else you could get one fabulous dangly earring and adorn it just on one ear. I also saw a lot of low side chignon hair-do's. Point is, get creative, get a little daring, add a touch of class, and you're on trend.
