The Fashion Breakdown .68

Spring 2009 ready to wear for women!

The Fashion Breakdown 68: As I mentioned earlier in the guy's edition, this season is very reflect about whats going on in the world. Here is the breakdown of Style.com's pick for Spring 2009 trends.

Depression_ Designers are returning to the styles of depression (i.e. 1930s). Yes ladies, flappers swooping, fitted dresses are making its way back (minus the whole idea of women at home thing). Look_1
, Look_2, Look_3

Origami_ As seen at the Oscars with many actresses taking on geometric shapes in their wardrobe. Intricate isn't bad at all. Think about it, you are wearing an art piece. Shapely pieces are finding its way to retailers right now! Look_1
, Look_2, Look_3

Mid-Eastern Influence_ Stemming from the jumpsuit and designer love for Moroccan silk and turbines come the Mid-Eastern/Saharan look. And I mean... emphasis on the jumpsuit! Look_1
, Look_2, Look_3

80's Love_ Yes, the shoulder pads are back, yes, the torn up lace is in, and yes, the ripped denim is here. Now before you go busting out all those 80s clothing from your closet, keep in mind that these are updated looks that pull that 80s into modern times. Style.com calls this "Trashy and Vaudeville." Look_1, Look_2, Look_3

Grecian envy_ Yes, many of you are probably saying... I've seen this already... MANY TIMES! Well fix it if its not broken right? There's only room for improvement right? Okay okay, enough of the cliches. Look_1
, Look_2, Look_3

Remember, make it your own but you now have a new guide. Know that a lot of these styles do exist and don't have to be as severe as you may think.
