Innerwear worn as outerwear. Whether it was Madonna who started the trend back in the 80’s or Queen Victoria with her corsettes in hand spun lace, boning and bra tops beckoned this spring. Jean Paul Gaultier is a given, but his 2010 re-issuance of the lingerie trend was more street and added a hip-hop flavor with caps and overalls accompanying the garter belts, bloomers and bras. With a bit of a ballerina influence, Marc Jacobs placed satin bras and tights pulled over sweaters. Meadham Kirchoff’s Ed Meadham and Benjamin Kirchhoff who are usually known for their Gothic London East End sensibility took a turn towards translucency and lightened up with gauzy slip dresses. Vanessa Bruno who is known for her slouchy Paris style, also used the slip dress in her collection but paired it with quirky stocking-style kneepads. Dolce and Gabbana and Christian Dior both displayed classic lingerie pieces, but corsets and satin tap pants are nothing new from those lines. Then at Preen’s New York show the British based duo of Justin Thornton and Thea Bregazzi made the trend the most realistic for buyers implementing lace, boning, a nude palette and silky draped dresses all paired with soft cardis and broad shoulders evoking romance for the women today instead of a “throwback” trend.-Lynn Furge
