Naeem Khan’s Spring 2010 collection came as a surprise to most; the evening wear designer is known for sending elegant and sophisticated cocktail gowns down the runway.
The theme of Naeem Khan’s Spring 2010 line, described as “punk raj,” saw another change—separates—composed of poufy, decorative, girly fashions as well as lucid, lascivious lingerie-exposing gowns.
Implications - The reinterpretation of classic, feminine styles is taking over the runways recently, serving as the backlash to the cold, hard, androgynous look that reigned supreme in the fashion world for years. Though today's woman is much more liberated than her predecessor, she still enjoys some girlyness every now and then--especially if that frilly style is updated.
