WOMENSWEAR TREND FW2016: Playful Pleats

Ever since Alessandro Michele re-introduced the pleated skirt it’s been gaining popularity. And not just the skirt made a huge comeback, pleats are having a major moment in more varieties. On a shiny metallic red Ralph Lauren dress for instance. Or as attached to a Salvatore Ferragamo skirt, as a nice bright colored detail. Oh and let’s not leave aside how much elegance and glamour those pleats added to that chocolate colored Valentino dress. Was the pleated skirt ever solely worn as a school uniform (kinda boring), for autumn it fits in with just about any girls wardrobe. Have you seen Bottega Veneta, Diesel, Givenchy and Fendi’s interpretations? Accordion style. Let’s play around with pleats.
