Well after watching the Chanel show yesterday and then the Dolce & Gabbana one today, I believe I'm starting to see a trend. Femininity. The lines were the same. Very sleek, nothing too shapely but a definite waist.
While I would say Chanel was more on the conservative side, D&G was not. I'm pretty sure they took a ballerina and burlesque dancer and made the wardrobe into one.
During the show the first thing you'll notice is: where's the pants? I read in ElleCanada that hotpants (spanky's) were in and D&G could not have hit this more on the head. The look is too make it seem like you're a serious business woman going to work in a nice suit and... you forgot the bottoms. I don't think anyone can pull that off better than they did.
A couple prints to keep in mind are polka-dots (classic black with white dots) and leopard. Think sheer fabrics that settle nicely on the body. Or lace-over-gold is another elegant choice. It almost looked as if the models were strutting around in negligee's and bedroom wear, although nothing was distasteful.
If you want a better idea of what kind of bedroom wear it might be think fifties swimsuits. Thick straps, bottom covered, no boobs hanging out. This seemed to be the basis of most outfits. If you want more cover than that don't be afraid to complete the look with an eighties off-the-shoulder sweater either.
Not a lot of colour was used, black and gold seemed to be the safe bets but there was an occasional splash of red. As elegant as everything comes across, a very subtle detail may be the raw edges on a considerable number of necklines (dresses and jackets).
I wouldn't be caught dead showing off that much leg in winter (I don't even show that much when it's summer!), but props to anyone daring enough to give it the go. If you're like me and want some more coverage the hemlines for dresses seemed to fall just above the knee, and longer flowy skirts are also a thing to keep in mind.
The feeling though to follow is feminine, not girly, but classy and elegant.
Peace
Chalsie
