Fashion Rewind: Bubble Skirts. Couture in the City Fashion Blog

Some trends come and go, others never die, and some, which have seemed to fail miserably, seem to come back out of nowhere. Case in point: the bubble skirt. Notorious for making anyone’s thighs quiver in feer at their baloon-like resemblence, somehow, designers have figured out how to make this look work.

I absolutely love the bubble skirt look, but when they first came into the mainstream a few years ago, I think that the problem was that they were too short and too poufy. Now they seem to be a little longer and more streamlined.

Get your own hot little bubble dress LeFashionista style from independant fashion designer Prospect 44.

Spotlight on Fashion Designer Derek Lam

Posted on 28 July 2006 by Angelique





Derek Lam Fall 2006 Ready-to-Wear Collection

Fashion designer Derek Lam’s Fall 2006 collection was one part color theory, one part corporate nymph. With a wide variety of looks in one show, Lam managed to mix a number of contemporary and past trends to create looks that will be very hot for fall.

In the now, Lam employed lots of color, belted waists, leggings and ankle socks with tailored menswear looks. For fall, peacoat trenches, furs, cowel necks and the black, grey and white palette were very hot. However, the black gauntlet gloves will probably not translate into real world wear. The most surprising come back? The one shoulder dress!

Ankle Boots…Hot or Not?

Posted on 27 July 2006 by Angelique


Ashlee Simpson

One of the hottest pre-fall trends among celebs right now are ankle boots in any color, fashion or form. Whether dressed up with a short sparkly cocktail dress or worn casual with shorts and a tee, these have become a staple among designer fashion mavens. The only rule? Wear them with something short…the point is to show them off! However, self-conscious ladies beware…ankle boots can make even the most toned and trim legs look short and stumpy.

Jennifer Lopez
Kiera Knightley

We think that Kiera Knightley took our advice on sundresses and belts to the extreme. While this is a very, well, inventive look, we wouldn’t suggest using a belt as a bra. Sorry Kiera. Our tip of the day? If you are going to do the sundress and belt look, please do it the right way…with your belt around your waist.
