Sensual and Sexual

Lace has been presented on the runways for a few seasons now, but as per recent trends are the classic Victorian lady-like image has been fading out, designers opt to take it as garment rather than an added detail of a garment. The recent shows had an ultimate balance of lace which is meant to be romantic but not over-girly; sensual but not over-suggestive, like making it the only layer. Sensual and Sexual 
  Some of the looks from Spring/Summer 2011 RTW and Resort runway shows as how the designers (namely Oscar de la Renta, Domenico Dolce and Stefano Gabbana, Erdem Moralioglu) styled their models in sheer lace.

Lingerie as outwear’ this concept has been followed by many designers at spring 2010 show. I think in coming days there will no such thing called inner wear. The designers seem to be stretching their minds to every possible limit. During spring 2010 there were many designers who made lingerie as outwear.

Sexy slits and very low necklines from Haider Ackermann
The gowns in electric blue, red, emerald, yellow, or black, plunged to the navel in front and audaciously had the curving slits at the pelvis, tuxedo lapels to a narrow skirt, leaving the entire back bare left the crowd exhilarated.
