Dramatic and theatrical, ruffles are easily spotted at red carpet events. Celebrities all over the globe embrace the extra volume to show-off their style and attract the camera flashes. Recently, Millie Bobby Brown wore a Rodarte frock and Sofia Carson picked a Giambattista Valli Haute Couture number, truly embracing the trend. The more layers, the merrier is the motto!
However, it’s not only A-listers who’ve adopted this ostentatious style. Fashion designers from the four main capitals went for tiers and frills; ready-to-wear with a haute couture touch. Inspired by them, street wear brands offer tops embellished with volume to be worn with your favourite pair of jeans, elevating the casual status of the look; or simple dresses adorned with curvy extra fabric.
Marc Jacobs reigned with a collection at its fullest, colourful tulle and layers of light-weight fabric and oversized roses composed the creations. Preen and Zimmerman brought asymmetric dresses to the catwalk, while Celine and Philosophy by Lorenzo Serafini worked with symmetric tops to be paired with plain trousers or skirts. In haute couture these are common details to be added to elaborate dresses, take a look at the Valentino and Dior collections.
