TREND - Sheer

Sheer black maxi dress, it shouldn't work but it does and that's all down to layering. The light weight of the fabric looks and moves like smoke, and when layered with other garments, such as cycling shorts, dresses or underwear, the effect is dark and romantic.
Good for day or night, will go with pretty much everything.

Givenchy's Riccardo Tisci has shown multiple ways to wear this trend. He played with lengths, mixing the statement skirts with tailored trousers, shorts and mini-skirts, in a slick colour palette of black, white, cream and leopard print. Zip details and the small use of leather add a sublte punk edge, although some of these harder looks have been softened by stiff ruffles and neutral colours.

The collection has a dark glamour about it, i particularly like the sheer, wide-leg trousers, a variant on the skirt, worn over the black tailored trousers, the effect has depth and enhances the silhouette.
