Designers and stylists are harking back to a time of innocence, femininity and grace. A time far, far removed from the everyday slog of today’s twenty-first century ‘superwoman’.
This seasons Spring fashions seem to look back to the time of Jane Austen novels; where ladies went to country balls wearing feminine dresses which showed off their assets in a most sincere and lovely way only to find their very own Mr Darcy or Prince Charming.
It is a fairytale world which many of us wish we could escape to, an era some of us wish they were born into, and now we can fantasise by wearing clothes inspired by such thoughts.
Femininity and a childlike innocence reign supreme this Spring. Floral prints and pinks are must haves. Flawless skin is essential. Blusher is your secret weapon. Colour is your new best friend.
Now it is your turn to dress yourself in the clothes your mother dressed you in all those years ago. The frocks which you loved so much for their pink, purple and gorgeous girly patterns are now in fashion. You can wear those dresses which scream innocence and childlike beauty.
You can wear floor length pleated and flowing skirts in pastel pinks without going to a ball, the Juliette Hogan one (pictured) is to die for. You can wear anything which makes you feel like a little girl, a lady, a princess, a woman.
In the past few years fashion has handed us the right to play the role of men. Now as things are getting tough, we are given our fantasies and escapisms in the form of gorgeous materials and styles.
We are little girls, woman who want so much, but live in a huge and daunting world where we have to be the man sometimes, where we have to play roles we don’t want, where things don’t always end up happily ever after. But fashion can and this Spring it will.
