Circle of Fashion

Anyone will tell you that fashion works in cycles. Highly respected designers take a trend from the 60s, 70s or currently 80s and rework the trend in their vision. For Autumn/Winter 09 there's an explosion of studs and glitter and sequins, rock and roll with a glamorous twist. But this of course has already been done. Whilst looking through my sister's old Elle magazines, I came across a spread about trends of a/w 07. Its similar to trends of this year, but today we've taken the whole 'rock and roll' trend further with the addition of glitter and sequins and putting studs on everything within our reach. I just though I'd share with you what we were wearing two years ago, after all it does hurt anyone to have a look back at the past. Give it a few years and you might be considered a trend setter for wearing the hottest 'new' piece first.

PS I remember that Burberry Prorsum dress in right hand corner of the second page, I coveted it badly, and I still want it!

PPS. I wouldn't say no to the Pink studied Giles handbag (even though pink isn't really a colour I wear much of I'll make an exception) and I love the white Richard Nicoll playsuit in the left hand corner in the middle of the page.
