Shoulder-Baring Fashion

Yiorgos Eleftheriades' Collection Unveiled a Chic Greek Goddess

— July 18, 2010 — Luxury
This week, Yiorgos Eleftheriades debuted his Spring/Summer 2011 collection at Barcelona Fashion Week. Drawing from his Greek nationality, Eleftheriades featured something of a modern, chic Greek goddess with the incorporation of rope details and bronze hues.

What stood out, though, was Yiorgos Eleftheriades’s various shoulder-enhancing pieces like one-shoulder colorblocked dresses and cut-out shoulder blouses.

Implications - Showing too much skin is often considered distasteful, but in small doses, showing parts of one's body becomes fashionable. The legs and midriff have typically been the body parts bared, due to their sensual nature, but these shoulder-baring fashions show that any part of the body, no matter how unconventional, can be considered both sexy and fashionable.
Trend Themes
1. Shoulder-baring Fashion - Incorporating unconventional body parts, such as the shoulders, into fashion design creates an opportunity for brands to provide new sexy and fashionable styles.
2. One-shoulder Dresses - One-shoulder dresses are becoming a trend in fashion design, with potential to disrupt traditional sleeve designs and offer a new style for special occasions.
3. Cut-out Shoulder Blouses - Cut-out shoulder blouses are a trendy way to show off the arms and shoulders in a creative way, with potential to disrupt traditional blouse designs.
Industry Implications
1. Fashion Design - The incorporation of unconventional body parts, such as the shoulders, creates a new opportunity for fashion designers to create unique clothing styles.
2. Special Occasion-wear - One-shoulder dresses create a new opportunity for special occasion-wear designers to offer unique and stylish options for clients.
3. Women's Blouses - Cut-out shoulder blouses disrupt traditional blouse designs and create a new opportunity for designers to offer trendy and creative alternatives.
