Fashion Preview 2011: Spring Dresses

Friday, February 25, 2011
Expect to see bolder designs and a little more extravagance than years past as the economy shows signs of slow recovery. The seventies and sixties-inspired fashion still reigns on the runways, with Mad Men-inspired dresses and Studio 64-esque glitzy metallics still showing on the runways. Maxi dresses remain a trend and some designers are sending sheer maxis down the runways for a fresh twist on a current modern fashion staple.
We can't talk about dresses without mentioning the work of Diane von Furstenberg, creator of the iconic wrap dress. Furstenberg's spring collection features larger-than-life prints and bright colors like violet, lemon, and turquoise.
. The season was beautifully retro-inspired, with tons of flouncy 50's and 60's skirts that would narrow any waistline. The collection also held some classy mermaid dresses that looked straight out of a film noir movie. While most of the Betsey Johnson collection held more colors than a neon rainbow, the collection also held some sheer all-black pieces, including a sexy showstopping lace dress that revealed the model's black lingerie; it was bold and a little risque, but beautiful all the same.
