Trends: Fall 2010 pt 2: Fifties and retro dressing

Take cue from Mad Men as the runways were filled with midi full skirts and body hugging tops in a retro 50s style. This look can be modernized by adding sharp tailored jackets a la Dries Van Noten or accessorized in a modern way. We also saw corset body hugging dresses that emphasize the curves in Marilyn Monroe style at the likes of Dolce & Gabbana and Nina Ricci. At Isabel Marant, models were sent in capri rolled up jeans modernized by adding sharp shoulders or casual sweaters.
