What’s Hot!

Fashion just won’t relinquish its love affair with the dress but designers are still finding ways of keeping it fresh – for your life and your style. The 2009 body-conscious resurgence is revealed in the allure of the figure-hugging dress. If you have the figure to pull it off, do it. Sure, the trends appear as manifestos-architectural, romantic, graphical, disco-pop, or exotic but that doesn’t mean you have to wear it literally on your body.                                                   

This season’s prints are loud, colourful, and digitally enhanced – prairie style in tiered layers with multi-colour lace and embroidery materialized in vivid floral designs. Long sheer dresses in floral watercolour prints are perfect combinations of romance and sexiness, while fluttery of chiffon and silk are fashioned into long vest with sequins embedded into these dresses.

Up your sex appeal with body con dresses

Tie-dye has re-emerged as a key print this season. In a palette of purple, ruby, white, green and bright yellow, wear this pattern in super sexy evening dresses or chic day shirtdresses.

But don’t just stop there. There is splendor in colour therapy and its psychoanalysis. Wear gold and silver because they are super glamorous for their multi-bright electric tones. No one understands just how quickly fashion moves as well as high-street labels do.

2010 Fashion Trends

Wear capes, capelets and cloaks. Capes… Say the word, and images of masked super heroes are what pops into the minds of many people. Capes and cloaks have existed since the early eras – from early Medieval Mantles to 16^th century decorative shawl and from military officers’ capes to 1940s fur stoles. As compared to the humble poncho which had its hippie revival, the cape in its more sophisticated form has seen nothing of a major come back on the streets, until now.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                            Wear pants – from fluid trousers to chic cropped cut, pair them with blazers and blouse and carry playful purses. The one statement accessory you really need this season? An oversized necklace, whimsical charm and glamorous shine, keep it exotic with ethnic accessories and python sandals. For a more subtle approach, turn it down one notch with strap platform leather sandals, gladiator sandals in patent leather or pretty patchwork, bold embellishment and charming petite bags.
