This trend features styles inspired by the era of glamour, the 1950s. Think Audrey Hepburn, Marilyn Monroe and Grace Kelly. Many designers have been inspired by the popularity of the fashions in TV show Mad Men. Look out for full, circle skirts and a-line skirts with a longer length, mid-length skirts are going to be big this season. For a contemporary twist choose one in a plain colour or a usual fabric. For an authentic take on this look delve into second hand/ thrift stores and vintage stores.
Prints for this look will be vintage inspired also; think big florals and classic checks. Team these outfits with Autumn/Winter 2010’s must-have shoe shape, the pointy toed kitten heel, and a granny style hand bag, which are boxy, structured bags with short handles and envelope fastenings.
This trend is an easy one to start piecing together now as many of its key pieces can be picked up second hand or vintage, giving the look more individuality and creative appeal.
