The A Line Dress, A Statement Piece This Season

A line dresses have made a huge come back this season! Once a trend of the nineties, fashion and couture houses’ obsession with body flattering shapes, and feminine cuts has allowed for the A line dress to make a reappearance on fashion week’s most prestigious runways.

Designers such as Alexander McQueen, Celine, Valentino, to Oscar De La Renta have redefined the flattering piece. The trend was all over the runways! Designers used the A line shape in hues of burgundy, they opted for mixing beautiful concentrated winter colors at Ferragamo, resulting in soft and feminine gowns that are as much figure flattering as they are practical to wear. Evening wear naturally invokes the use of the A line shape, however now designers are under-doing the trend into one that is more office friendly.
