Of course, what goes around comes back around. This is not always the best of things. Sure, stuff like art-deco inspired applique, wrap dresses and the sweater suit are great even at the second time around. But, there are some horrid things that have come back around. Puffed-sleeves seemed to have reared their obnoxious heads again. Ugh. In virtually all of the recent shows in France there have been puff sleeves. I have no idea why. They flatter nothing and look horrid on everyone who is above a size zero. They add unnecessary volume to an outfit. And, too much volume makes you look huge, and not in a good way. Also, they aren't "classic" in the way that a pencil skirt is, so stuff with puff-sleeves tend to look horribly dated 2 weeks after they were made.
Hopefully the unnecessarily large shoulders stay purely in the realm of couture shows this time around. Other wise this fall may turn out to be even more depressing than normal!
