# Feminine 50s-Inspired Couture The Temperley London Resort 2014 Collection is Fit for a Duchess By Meghan Young | Published 2013-06-21 | Fashion Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/temperley-london-resort-2014 References: [wwd](http://www.wwd.com/runway/resort-2014/review/temperley-london) & [temperleylondon](http://www.temperleylondon.com) The Temperley London Resort 2014 collection reworks the feminine '50s dress silhouette for gowns and skirts that are much more modern without losing the classy glamor that era is known for. Nevertheless, the British designer wasn't necessarily inspired by the '50s female. Instead, she describes her muse as "an enchanted princess from the South of France who lives a charmed life and only ever wears beautiful clothes." Filled with sumptuous fabrics, rich colors, floral embroideries and more, the Temperley London Resort 2014 collection has been appropriately dubbed Enchantment. It is the perfect post-pregnancy wardrobe for Duchess of Cambridge, who is known for favoring this designer's creations. Incredibly ladylike, the pieces will enchant potential shoppers almost immediately. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 6.2/10 - Popularity: 94% | Activity: 84% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 10% men, 90% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: 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 - **Reimagined '50s Silhouette:** The reworking of the feminine '50s dress silhouette presents opportunities for designers to modernize classic shapes while maintaining a sense of elegance. - **Enchanted Princess Inspiration:** Drawing inspiration from an enchanted princess from the South of France opens up innovative design possibilities to create whimsical and romantic collections. - **Sumptuous Fabrics and Rich Colors:** Using sumptuous fabrics and rich colors in designs can create a luxurious and opulent aesthetic that appeals to sophisticated consumers. ### Who This Affects Most - **Fashion:** The Temperley London Resort 2014 collection showcases new possibilities for fashion designers to create modern couture inspired by classic styles. - **Luxury Retail:** The use of sumptuous fabrics and rich colors in fashion collections presents opportunities for luxury retailers to offer high-end, opulent pieces to discerning customers. - **Bridal and Special Occasion:** The reimagined '50s silhouette seen in the collection enables designers in the bridal and special occasion industry to offer timeless yet modern gowns to customers looking for a classic yet fresh style. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Luxury Resort Apparel Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/auteurs-resort-2025-collection.md) - [Heritage-Inspired Bridal Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/katherine-tashs-spring-2026.md) - [Romantic Resort Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/kallmeyer-resort-2026-collection.md) - [Modern High-Fashion Dresses](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/terani-couture.md) - [Holiday Gown Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nana-jacqueline.md) - [Politically-Inspired Runway Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/selkies-the-libertine-collection.md) - [Dreamy Apparel Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/frankies-bikinis-keepsakes-collection.md) - [Timelessly Charming Fashion Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mi-amor-collection.md) - [Elegant Easy-to-Wear Shirt Dresses](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-shirt-dress-collection.md)
