Now that you grasp the wings of the concept, you can fly with it. Nude on nude, nude on black, black on black. Embellish, since it’s the season. (Man, Swarovski will not be starving this year) Brilliant sewn-on Swarovski cuffs on long sleeves give great balance to the off-kilterdness of those chunky celluloid collars. Stunning crystallized flower “prints” grace the best of the nude-on-nude numbers. The under-dresses can afford to be very short as theirgauzy counterparts always back them up with graceful, lady-like proportions.
Thank god, there are pictures or I might have lost you. Serendipity willing, you will get to see the most successful variations of this idea on these pages. On your best friend. On the H&M mannequins next spring. This season we saw a lot of nudes, a lot of feisty prints, a lot of ’65 to –‘75. To every season it’s decade of reference, nude does looks good on exposed skin and you can’t really say bright flowery prints for the summer is an idea born south of the eighteenth century.
