LouieThe 60's Revival
February 28th 2007 08:39
According to Chloe, Gucci, Emanual Ungaro and many many more, the forecast for Spring 2007 is a revival of the ultimate 60's look, the shift dress. While it has been tweaked and changed, the classic shift that Twiggy wore so well has graced catwalks everywhere, in a variety of prints, lengths and shapes.
My favourtie take on the look, inspired directly from the 60's, were the sleeveless shifts in gold, mustard and beige at Chloe.
Ungaro had a much more playful colour palette, but he didn't stray far from the classic silhouette, updated by the square neckline and flared sleeves.
Mathew Williamson also had a modern take on the shift, using pastel shades and sequins to give it a fun outdoors kind of feel.
Another one of my favourites is this elegant white shift from Stella McCartney. It has a childish, romantic feel to it. The balloon sleeves create an interesting silhouette.
Jill Stuart created a similar romantic feeling in her mostly white collection.
I absolutely love the girliness of the shift dress, and it's so versatile! And if you don't want to wait until Spring to wear it, there are some great long sleeved versions in shops at the moment. It also features quite a bit in the Fall 2007 collections for DKNY, Diane Von Furstenburg and a few others. For more images and designer's collections, check out www.style.com.

I love the Ungaro and McCartney dresses.
I love the whole sixties 'look'...was a bit too young, first time around...just a twinkle in my father's eye really...!
I like the smock shape but it can make a smockery out of some shapes...groan...lame...
...peace out Jana...in keeping with the whole sixties theme...
