Silhouettes

Rounding up spherical and styled with allure ‘Dress-up’ styling was the motto of the last season, with many feminine skirts and dresses. It will go on even more pronounced.

People don’t feel so ‘free’ to dress in sportswear and ‘streetwear’ like before anymore, they want to dress up in style; elite-sports influences and their dress-up styles are ‘hot’.

Echoes of strict uniform styling and their details are coming up, especially among youngsters; it is in line with their political preferences and the need for more discipline and order.

The feminine silhouette is getting large, often with royal volume and layers, almost with a couture-like, aristocratic and majestic allure; it is ‘rounding up’ to egg forms. Skirts and dresses have Empire lines, petticoats, balloon, tulip and bulb shapes, even panties come in balloon shapes.

Sleeves and shoulders also have that roundness and volume. Such shapes are always contrasted with a wasp waist or tight breast. Dorlastan gives comfort to the more body-conscious areas and a nice ‘fall’ and ‘handle’ to drapes, to envelope shapes and several wrapping and moulding techniques.
