Drop Dead Draping

Spring is shaping up to be a phenomenal season when it comes to playing up volume. Making an impact were a handful of collections that demonstrated a more dramatic approach to dressing. While Grecian inspirations reigned among many collections, designers such as Rodarte and Ann Demeulemeester took it one step further playing up draping and gathering of fabric to form dress shapes that were down right modern . The look resulted in a not too fanciful approach to detail, while still pulling off a sophisticated cool.  Color, too, plays in to the effect sharply highlighting the various shapes that these dresses evoke. Urban sexy and oh so cool!
