Look closely at spring 2012 shows and you notice an aquatic theme floating to the surface, collection after collection.
With all inspiration, it is not the point of reference that enthralls but rather how it is interpreted.
These designers all may have gone under the sea (not literally) but each translation is unique.

Nearly every summer a bare midriff trend arises. However if you look closely, each season the incarnation is slightly new in feel.
This time round, it is fairly high in placement. It settles closer to the bust than the waist line. Due to this placement, there is something more smoldering Sophia Loren about it than sporty hipster cool. Yes it is bare skin but the high bare midriff is more collected, put together and sophisticated in its bearing than past incarnations.
I am certainly seduced by it but enough of my thoughts, what is your view on it?
