Trends for Spring '09: Sheer Madness

Darlings, suddenly everyone wants to show off their ladybits! What's THAT all about?


Roberto Cavalli, Vera Wang, Chanel

Don't hate us; we actually like the Cavalli. Oh, don't get us wrong, if we saw someone actually wearing it we'd mutter "dirty whore" under our breath and judge her most harshly, but for the runway, it's fun. Hate Vera's. Love the Chanel.


Cynthia Rowley, Elie Saab, Alexander Wang

Feh/'70s prom dress/skank.


Catherine Malandrino, John Galliano, Armand Basi One

Fab/Runway fab (although those grannie panties...yikes)/Fug.


Costume National, Christian Dior, Monique Lhuillier

Hate the first two and we'd love the Lhuillier except for the white bust. Zellwegger did the same thing for the Golden Globes and we think it looks stupid.


Badgley Mischka, Nina Ricci, Oscar de la Renta

Gorgeous/Fabulously impractical/Fabulous and slightly impractical.


Zac Posen, Betsey Johnson, Calvin Klein


Chic/Outrageously fun/Chic 2, Electric Boogaloo.


Here's the thing when it comes to trends: it's fun to talk about them, but they're fleeting and what is a trend on the runway doesn't always become a trend on the streets. We'll definitely see more sheer in the average stylish bitch's wardrobe in the coming seasons, but have no fear: you won't be seeing a lot of panties and nipples on the subway any time soon. Sorry, straight boys!
