BODYCON BACKLASH
Whether a nod to the Duchess of Cambridge’s pregnancy or simply a reaction to the athleisure bodycon favoured by young LA, there has been a definite shift towards the oversized in Paris this week. At Sacai, a floral pinafore dress, swinging wide from shoulder straps, closed the show. Miu Miu’s loose suits skimmed rather than sculpted and Giambattista Valli showed lace trapeze dresses that fell to the ankle without even a hint of bosom or hip. And after a month on the fashion week circuiteating out every night in New York, Milan and Paris, a looser silhouette certainly appealed to the fashion press sitting ringside.
