Magnificent Mermaid-Style Dresses

The Zac Posen Spring 2012 Collection is Stunningly Glamorous

— September 13, 2011 — Fashion
The Zac Posen Spring 2012 collection was a beautiful presentation of everything that I truly love about fashion: glamor, sophistication -- and most importantly -- breathtakingly intricate, gorgeous evening wear.

To me, there is nothing more stunning than a great floor-length evening gown in a mermaid cut. The Zac Posen Spring 2012 collection provided these in several different hues, ranging from my favorite -- nude -- to rich, deep reds, and of course, classic blacks.

The dramatic collection also had a lot of corset action going on, so if comfort is your thing, you may want to steer far, far away from the Zac Posen Spring 2012 collection. The line is clearly inspired by Old Hollywood, yet maintains a youthful edge with its prominent prints and low-cut tops.

Drama was seemingly the only thing on Zac Posen's mind this season, and thank goodness it was, because his Spring collection is absolutely gorgeous.
Trend Themes
1. Mermaid-style Dresses - Designing more variations in mermaid cut dresses with different prints and hues can satisfy the increasing demand for exquisite mermaid-style dresses
2. Corset Fashion - Incorporating corset designs in both formal and casual fashion can bring back retro fashion into the mainstream and cater to those who love old Hollywood style
3. Youthful Hollywood Glamor - Combining youthful prints and styles with elements of Old Hollywood glamor can attract younger fashion consumers while expanding the reach of Old Hollywood fashion
Industry Implications
1. Fashion - Fashion brands can break the mold by designing unique mermaid-style dresses and incorporating corset designs to cater to customers who wish to embrace Old Hollywood glamor in a new way
2. Textile - Bold prints and intricate designs can expand the popularity and demand for textile products as fashion designers work to bring trendsetting fashion to the mainstream
3. Entertainment - Integrating Old Hollywood's alluring image into current youth-themed entertainment can open opportunities for those seeking to revamp retro styles for the modern era.
