Every now and then, a collection just stands out above the rest and every now and then there's a collection that does something new with something old.
Back in the 80's polka dots were seen on almost every designer collection. From blouses to dresses to even pants, these pac-man-like shape squirmed their way through and evolved from minute to giant size. They showed up in every imaginable shade - black on white, white on black and the ugliest orange on green!
Moschino however showed polka-dots off in their recent Resort 2011 collection in a far more refined and imaginative way. So refined, I dare say polka-dots in 2011 will really become big fashion news again!
There were skirts, jackets and dresses all covered with these tiny round speckles along with draping of the fabric and matched with solid coloured pieces. Worn with modern-cut pants and skirts, these polka-dots looked stunning and oh so chic.
If you have a polka-dot piece in your closet (and it doesn't matter if it was from the 80's), bring it out shamelessly. You know why? You can breathe new life into it by rethinking the design. Take off the shoulder pads if there are any. 2011 is all about softness and curves. Tighten the blouse, skirt or dress so as to put more definition to your shape. Cut the length for added youthfullness. And presto! You have created a brand new outfit for yourself.
Take it from Moschino. Love the dots. They will love you back!
