Trend: Long Dress

The first thing to do is to overcome the false belief that the long association the concept of "difficult" to pull out of the closet only on special occasions. Never before this season Spring-Summer 2011, the long dress, in its thousand variations of material, cut, color, has a head gate, to be chosen according to the mood of the moment and to take either day or night.

We propose five moods from the catwalk: trust me, once you found out your not do without it. Romance. The allure is an angelic purity, almost virginal. The white (non) color of the season par excellence, is clothed in lace and broderie that recall the nightgowns unearthed in the trunk of his grandmother, the flower girls in Proust.


But the transparency allude to a seduction, not performed, it is more profound and subtle, affecting the mood of the poet as the shrewdest of casanova. Dolce & Gabbana, Valentino, Laura Biagiotti, Giambattista Valli. Minimal chic. Conceptual design that refers to the essential aesthetic purism of the nineties, are more difficult to wear because it always falls into the temptation to accessorize with the result of too irretrievably ruin the essence.

The mantra should be less is more (up to a belt or a thin jewel good), ultra flat shoes and the limited palette to white, black or blue. Calvin Klein, Bottega Veneta, Maison Martin Margiela, Aquilano. Rimondi. Color! Nothing better to demystify the long dress with brush strokes that turn vibrant red, orange, blue, yellow.

In this case the rule is to let go, which tends to mitigate all the more essential with a design that you want to do too much or indulging in transparency, rhinestones and sequins, nudity policy. The important thing, after all, is fun. Dior, Haider Ackermann, Costume National, Fendi, # 21, Michael Kors.

Lines. For those who just do not want to miss even a trend of the season, the pair + striped long dress combines two of the strongest trends of the summer. On the catwalks (but outside) there will be spoiled for choice, from the marina to inspirations ubiquitous references to the men's see-through experiments.
Junya Watanabe, Comme des Garcons, Jil Sander, Viktor & Rolf, Alberta Ferretti. Ethno Folk. Wild Amazons as subways, to be admired as a rare exotic animal never seen before. The long dress is tinged land burned by the sun, the fantasy comes alive with color clothes traditional African and Peruvian women, the plumage of parrots and spots that cover the fur of the Panthers.

Accessories? High heels, fringed necklaces, snake clutch. Roberto Cavalli, Givenchy, Etro, Missoni, Blumarine, Emilio Pucci, Marc Jacobs.
