Off the Runway Spring 09 - Edwardian Era

The Edwardian era has made its comeback on the catwalk within Spring 09 collections from Riccardo Tisci, Armani Privé, and Dior. Heightened shoulders and sharp tailoring amount to the look recreated with a modern edge. Armani maintained that the shoulders “added a fantastical allure,” some may claim the look however, if not executed correctly - is a little severe.
