Flash FASHION UPDATE
High elegance

 
 
The end of the hipster's hip is a fact. The waistline is now overtly raised to at least where God intended the waist to be, but in most cases, considerably higher! Thus, pencil skirts and pleated skirts, white-legged pants and slim pants, jodhpurs and shorts, all come in the new shape, while even dresses feature seams or are pinched above the natural waistline. Empire line waists and Obi-style belts serve to emphasize the look. For many women, this is one of their all-time favorite styles, harking back to the epitome of American culture - the 1950s. Also, like wearing a corset, having the waistband up around your natural waist gives a woman a certain kind of confidence that you can't fake.

The higher the waist, the higher the style seems to be the order of the day!
Metallorgy
And the rave goes on. For anything shiny, anything polished, anything sparkling. Metal mesh and chain-mail, gold-encrusted lace and disc-worked fabrics, a plethora of laminated textures and Fifties-inspired lame, heavy stiff brocades and fluid lustrous satins, all are there to infuse glamour and sophistication to daywear looks. And it doesn't matter if it's blinding or tarnished, golden, bronze or silver, anything from the metal palette is simply hot.
