Runway Trend: Sheer

(top to bottom left to right: Vera Wang, Vena Cava, Stella McCartney, Roberto Cavalli, Richard Chai, Ralph Lauren, Proenza Schouler, Proenza Schouler again, Luella Bartley, Givenchy, [2nd row] Ferragamo, Emanuel Ungaro, Doo.Ri, Costume National, Collette Dinnigan,Christopher Kane, Christian Lacroix, Calvin Klein, Bottega Veneta, Anna Sui, Alexander Wang, Alexander Wang again)

So, again, I don’t really expect anyone to get a truly good idea of what the dresses looked like from this massive collage, but it does give you a vague idea of how many designers showed sheer pieces or pieces with sheer elements.

Two Pretty Dresses

These dresses make me wish it were spring (and that I had a money tree)

by ADAM on shopbop.com

I love the bead detailing at the waist, especially with my current turquoise addiction.  Also the length, I know maxi-dresses were sort of last summer, but I never found a good one.  Now if I only had $600 to spare…

 

by Vera Wang Lavender Label (and on sale at Net-A-Porter.com! too bad they sold out of my size)

again with the yellow and the banding at the waist.  More casual, though.
