Ok, I was sure the 80’s and 90’s were back. But this is aggressive! I believe we will all feel about 15 years younger by the fall.
Do you remember the single-sleeve shirts? What about the strong shoulder jackets? Well, they are back! Designers have been focusing on single-sleeve clothes since April of this year or before. And now, for Fall 2009, many designers are focusing on strong shoulders on jackets, blazers, dresses…
Particularly, I’m not a big fan of single-sleeves. But who knows? Maybe I find something interesting during one of my walks in NYC.
I remember when my mom made me these really nice blazer and then she added shoulder pads. Oh, my! Those pads destroyed the blazer (in my teenage mind). I used to think that clothes with strong shoulders looked terrible. But now, there are some really cool things out there. And that’s one of the many things I love about fashion: recycling!
What about mixing the single-sleeve and strong shoulders? Yeah… This year designers got really creative and the clothes are very wearable -one thing that matters to me.
