Since  models sashayed in see-through blouses and transparent dresses on the spring runaways, showing off one’s skin is no longer mauvais ton. Barely-there chiffon, tulle, and feather-light organza are your best friends in this venture, so take a last chance to showcase lightness, elegance, and movement before the summer ends.

Skirts and overlays, sporty bodysuits, tonal camisoles, or fifties-style lingerie were seen at Fendi, Celine, J. Mendel, Salvatore Ferragamo, Jil Sander, Marc Jacobs, Chanel, Luca Luca, Miu Miu, Jill Stuart, Chloe, Richard Nicoll, Anne Klein, Diane von Furstenberg, John Galliano, Christian Dior, Rodarte and BCBG Max Azria.

The sheer trend doesn’t mean the 90’s ‘look at me’  vogue is back. This season’s trend is all about sensuality, subtle sexiness, romance, and elegance.
