D is for Drape

Fabric suspended from shoulders and hips to create swirling lines of force around the figure.

J is for Jumpsuit

Luxe to utilitarian, this one piece wonder is seen draped and easy or structured and buckled. Traditional work garb, the jumpsuit agrees with the brave striding forward, ready to forge a new order.

V is for Volume

Going against the norm of forming the fabric to the body these dresses use the body as a base to hang softly molded mounds of cloth upon. Look for puff sleeves and bubble skirts to float in this spring.
