Body bind S/S 09

[kiddokiddo]

After seasons of shapeless and loose silhouette, NYFW has been showcasing an army of tight, short, body-conscious, and sometimes bondage/Herve Leger like dresses. Not my cup of tea, but notably a trend nonetheless

I blame the overdose of Herve Leger this past season for this

I like the ones by Preen

I LOVE the black off-the-shoulder one from Narciso. It's definitely got that Leger/Alaia glamazon vibe, but it doesn't look like a pale imitation of the originals.

^I agree, his interpretation is the most viable

i'm glad to see the return of more body-conscious shapes....

though i'm a fan of the billowing blouses/dresses etc, i have a thin waist and i should probably get back to emphasizing that instead of hiding it under swathes of fabric

^^def Balmain FW08 for sure

 

[ChrissyM]

agreed.. they were ahead of the curve on this one...

I love the ones by Narcisco Rodriguez. I think its always nice to show off some figure.

L'wren Scott's designs always have that sort of whipcracking vibe, but done in a sort of haughty, elegant way.

I love the first L'Wren Scott dress

 

[Couture_Whore]

This also ties well into the "soft bondage" trend.

But let's not forget that the loose silhouette (BCBG/Yigal/etc) is also still very popular.

I like the Zac Posen dress and the dresses from L'Wren Scott.
