Trend-Spotting: Inflated Figures
By G J Donnelly March 13,2008
With a recession hovering on the horizon, penny-pinching is trendy again, however being economical with space? Not so much: Spring magazines, shop windows, even runway shows were full of billowing mushroom-cloud dresses. This inflated silhouette—which comes thanks to the trend-setting Alber Elbaz at Lanvin—swallows its wearer whole, reducing the figure two limbs and a tiny pin-head. In wearing one of these filmy, imposing gowns, the gala-going girl becomes entirely swept up in fabric and high fashion. But considering the current landscape, who can blame us for wanting such a dreamy, encapsulating escape?

loved this post. those lanvin windows are insane!
this trend is really funny when you think of how fashion usually focuses on thin. it’s nice to see the other extreme!
The dresses are really fun and whimsical, great colors too!
I love how designers are making clothes more 3-D with lots of movement. It is a nice contrast to straight hair.
