2009, Hellos and Goodbyes

2009 in Recap
Starting with...

London:

London is classically, almost predictably, fashion forward. Londoners playfully mix prints and proportions for easy punk and grunge looks. Always tongue-in-cheek, the British have conquered Kinderwhore look (little cocktail dresses with ripped tights and ratted hair) and Lady Gaga glam.

Predictions: London is going to move towards a more streamlined look that we saw come out of Tokyo last year. Everything in fashion makes a circle, and the whole Blade Runner idea hasn’t yet finished its circuit. But forget your skintight leggings from last year. Think crazy proportions: stuffed harem pants, super cropped blazers and a switch from exaggerated shoulders to big sleeves (remember the lantern or the 60s Victorian?).
