Ruffles and Bubbles

At London Fashion Week I spotted two trends, that I think will be popular for s/s10.


On the catwalk there was an abundance of round skirt that shoot out at the hips.


Here at luella:




And again at basso and brook:


And with a variation on structure but retaining the rounded shape using an exiting pleat technique at Gavin Douglas.



I personally love this trend. It’s fun, flirty and girly which is perfect for spring.




Another trend I spotted at LFW for the more fashion forward (or confident) was for statement neckpieces, particularly neck ruffles. The key to this look is to go soft and feminine rather that a stiff Jacobean look. Too wide ruffles are awkward to wear and look costume-y. Think soft and romantic not Queen Elizabeth I.

Here at Betty Jackson


Peter Jensen also worked the ruffle look with this knitted ruffle teamed with a cardigan for a more discreet lady-like look.



And it’s not just on the catwalk I saw this trend. The boy was also wearing this trend (as well as the new LV bunny ears trend!) How cute does he look!

This look isn’t for everyone, but I personally love it.
