Spring/Summer Trends from Vogue

SPRING/SUMMER 2008 - There is a soft, light-as-air feeling to spring. Sheer silk dresses are so delicate they might fly off at a hint of summer breeze; florals burst into bloom, while sweet violet in all its sugared shades is the new spotlight colour. Feminine, flared and flirty, the dirndl skirt suits the season’s free-spirited mood, and even denim turns soft, in faded blue washes and wispy frayed seams. The ultimate indulgence? Hand-painted fabrics.

Swishy Skirts
Spring’s skirts come cinched at the waist and cut high at the hem, and the dirndl shape reigns supreme. Decorative extras - sunray pleats, prints and pockets - add extra oomph.

Sheer Bliss
Sheaths of barely-there chiffon and feather-light organza create a look that’s as light as air. Too wispy? Graphic cuts and splashes of colour keep the mood contemporary.

Lighten Up
Put darkest indigo on hold - the news in denim is pale and soft. Ripped jeans and frayed jean jackets have a youthful flair.

Mixed Bouquet
Floral prints burst into bloom once again. From simple sketched sprigs to delicate tea roses, girlish daises, vibrant azaleas and lush, exotic hibiscus.

The All-In-One
Fashion’s fast friend, the all-in-one, returns in myriad guises - from cute cropped playsuits in girlish cotton to high-octane jumpsuits in sexy silk jersey.
