# Rock 'n' Roll Frocks The Dress Up TOPSHOP Collection Boasts Party-Hardy Fashion By Chalaine Mantha | Published 2011-04-27 | Fashion Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dress-up-topshop-collection References: [becauseimaddicted.net](http://becauseimaddicted.net/2011/04/dress-up.html) & [topshop](http://www.topshop.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/CatalogNavigationSearchResultCmd?catalogId=33057&storeId=12556&langId=-1&viewAllFlag=false&categoryId=277483&interstitial=true&intcmpid=W_HERO_HP_UK_WK32_DRESS_UP) The Dress Up TOPSHOP collection is featured in a run-down-house photoshoot that was photographed by Yvan Rodic. The dazzling dresses stand out among the wreckage of scraped-up walls and torn-up furniture. Standing out is what TOPSHOP wants its new collection of dresses to do. It claims that the Dress Up frocks are all about making a [strong fashion statement](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/auteur-studios-fall-2025). TOPSHOP asks you, "Why dress down when you can dress up?" The collection was inspired by [rock and roll](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-october-collection) and "understated elegance." The Dress Up TOPSHOP collection includes dresses that are super sparkly with rainbow colors and bright geometric patterns and filled with [dazzling sequins](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/veronica-beard-party-edit). Some are more girlie and romantic. If you are looking for ideas for prom, this collection could hold the perfect stand-out dress for you! ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 6.1/10 - Popularity: 88% | Activity: 87% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 10% men, 90% women - Primary generations: Millennial - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/fashion) > [Hip Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/hipfashion) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Statement Fashion:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Create fashion pieces that make a bold and unforgettable fashion statement, using unique patterns and dazzling embellishments. - **Rock and Roll-inspired Fashion:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Combine the edginess of rock and roll with elegant fashion, creating a new and exciting style. - **Prom Dress Inspiration:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Design prom dresses that are unique, eye-catching, and stand out from traditional options. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Fashion Retail:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Introduce a new line of fashion products that cater to individuals seeking statement fashion. - **Photography:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Collaborate with fashion brands to create unconventional photoshoots that showcase clothing collections in unique and engaging ways. - **Event Planning:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Offer prom planning services that include access to exclusive and standout dress options for attendees. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Inclusive Prom Dress Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/prom-collection.md) - [Customizable Statement Accessory Brands](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/rocknot.md) - [Modern High-Fashion Dresses](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/terani-couture.md) - [Embellished Holiday Party Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/veronica-beard-party-edit.md) - [Punk Rock-Informed Fall Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/superculture-collection.md) - [Elegant Easy-to-Wear Shirt Dresses](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-shirt-dress-collection.md) - [LED-Infused Festival Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tinsel-arcade.md) - [Confident Fashion Rebranding Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/people-will-talk.md) - [Autumn Occasion Dresses](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/reformation-fall-dresses.md)
