# Ruffled-Spine Shift Dresses Joost van Brug Captures Marly Gommans Dresses By Marissa Brassfield | Published 2010-04-11 | Fashion Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/marly-gommans-dresses References: [behance.net](http://www.behance.net/Gallery/Marly-Gommans-Dresses/479339) & [marlygommans.nl](http://www.marlygommans.nl/home/) I love dresses that make the most of the curvature of a woman's spine, so this shoot by Joost van Brug of Marly Gommans' dresses is right up my street. While these short-sleeved shift dresses are plain black, the ruffle detail adds visual interest. Could Marly Gommans' dresses be the future of the LBD? See more images of this [Joost van Brug](http://www.joostvanbrug.com/home/) shoot above. I'd definitely rock the ones in the first and last images. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.5/10 - Popularity: 45% | Activity: 22% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 30% men, 70% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/fashion) > [Hip Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/hipfashion) ## Key Themes ### What's Driving This Trend - **Ruffled-spine Shift Dresses:** The trend of ruffled-spine shift dresses offers opportunities for innovative designs that enhance the curvature of a woman's spine. ### Who This Affects Most - **Fashion:** The fashion industry can leverage ruffled-spine shift dresses to create unique and visually appealing designs. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Elegant Easy-to-Wear Shirt Dresses](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-shirt-dress-collection.md) - [Transformative Shaping Dresses](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/body-by-miraclesuit.md) - [Modern Minimalist Apparel Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/auteur-studios-latest-summer-edit.md) - [Statement-Making Fall Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/auteur-studios-fall-2025.md) - [Timelessly Charming Fashion Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mi-amor-collection.md) - [Dynamic Shape-Shifting Dresses](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/primrose-dress.md) - [Leopard Mini Dresses](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/leopard-mini-dresses.md) - [Unapologetic Lingerie Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mariemurs-judge-me-guilty.md) - [Resort-Ready Apparel Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/marie-oliver.md)
