It is no suprise that each spring season, the key focus should be on change. Apart from a new year, we also find that our fairly new interests should be immediately exchanged for something even more fresh. It is a new year, it is inevitable that invite change with arms wide open. Introducing, short shorts! It's all been done before, really. We have seen it all. Yet, there is something rather sectacular about witnessing an abundance of legs and... well, a lack of material to cover them. Be that as it may, sometimes fashion has the ability to wow, solely by using less fabrics and using what little material they have to sculpt and really accentuate specific areas of a woman's body. Although seemingly contradictory, it is not always how well a designer can cover a woman's body, but how the designer can dress a woman appropriately without using that much fabric at all.
Among these designers, heads the pioneering influence behind perhaps what can be considered a new trend for us all this season: Karl Lagerfeld's sequinsed hot pant. With the introduction of hot pants, who knows? Maybe the new obsession isn't so much focused on your Fendi 'B' bag but your pelvic region. Forget it's trashy image, what a simple way to reinstate the image of sexy right on the woman's pelvic bone. Granted, most do not have the ability to bare their legs to this extreme. After all, a sexy pair of legs should be masked from society, right? I am hoping this trend catches on. The relevance of hot pants in todays fashion world is about as ridiculous as those mary-kate glasses that everyone is wearing. They are absurd but, somehow they work.
