STYLES<br />
This year it’s a lot more Star Wars than Cinderella with a lot of edginess<br />
and less fairytale prettiness.<br />
Naked backs<br />
In previous years, there have<br />
always been individuals who’ve<br />
stood out simply because of the<br />
outrageous amount of skin they<br />
bared. This year there’s a more<br />
conservative feel with more dignity<br />
in place. Instead of plunging<br />
necklines and thigh-high slits, the<br />
focus is on deep V-cut backs, large<br />
open-keyhole detail and voluminous<br />
sleeve support.<br />

Minimal simplicity<br />
Statement colours like sunflower<br />
yellow, bright pink and royal purple<br />
were seen on simple, uncomplicated<br />
designs and clean, minimal<br />
designs. In these cases, less was<br />
definitely more because the colour<br />
said enough.<br />

Black magic<br />
Dramatic sheer black fabrics mixed<br />
with lace, chiffon and even velvet<br />
with high necklines, accentuated<br />
shoulders and elaborate detail gave<br />
a little bit of a medieval feel to the<br />
dresses, leaving a whole lot more to<br />
the imagination than the usual sheer<br />
fabrics.<br />

Sharp tailoring<br />
Besides the ladies that were dressed<br />
in amazing tuxedos and suits, a<br />
lot of the dresses showed sharp,<br />
tailored lines and structure with<br />
collars and shoulder pads and<br />
geometric silhouettes.<br />
