yet an other good trend spot mr .. ur on a roll

love this look .. i think its very feminine and chic

Why thank you

I think it's wonderful to see a defined shape again, after years of flowy, shapeless and big.

The great thing about a lot of these looks, especially the looks with the peplums, is that it gives you the illusion of a defined waist even if you don't have one.

Spike, you really get the trendspotting going

I love how it's shown at Yohji Yamamoto, the exaggerated peplums really define the waist
