San Francisco, California– This fall season declares all eyes on waist as designers take cue after soft architecture for women’s curves. The main silhouette of peplum are predominantly seen in jackets, dresses, and skirts perfectly executed from designers: Bottega Veneta, Chanel, Lanvin, Prada, and Yves Saint Laurent at the Paris and Milan Fall Fashion 08/09 shows.
Old notions of the retro peplum are to be shaken off. “This fall, designers served up the lady-fled look in new and unusual ways, from tassled to puffed-up, often downtown edgy or quirkily chic” as reported in WWD. “Bottega Veneta’s Tomas Maier added some feminine elements for fall — sculptural ruffles and formfitting silhouettes. Even his tailored looks got some pretty peplum detailing.” Clearly a shapely silhouette, the peplum can seem tricky to pull. With mixed reviews by skeptics comparing it to “bordering jester-like”, “a floater”, or “a bustle…all-around,” it is a trend meant for the bold, unrestraint personality.
The ultrafeminine cut can be worn by all though. If one’s got curves, a cinched-waist jacket with flared hem and structured shoulders is a choice. The broad shoulders leading to a snug bodice accentuate the narrowest part of the torso while the peplum conceals any tummy. If one is considerably boyish figured, this may well be a trend to love as the peplum offers a silhouette boost. And for everyone else, a peplum skirt with neatly tucked in tops instantly welcomes you to this season.
