Spring 13 Trend Spotlight: Ruffles

Reminiscent of a Spanish flamenco performer, exaggerated ruffles have been a major feature for Spring 2013 from Gucci to Givenchy.

It was overtly sexy at Balenciaga with a super thigh high split skirt that featured stiff ruffles taken from a Cristobal dress circa 1968.


Gucci went ultra glam with soft, wave like ruffles that almost floated across the body and arms, from luxurious floorlength evening wear to chic casual dresses for that cool cocktail party by the pool in Monaco.


But at Paris Fashion Week today, Givenchy gave the ruffle a gothic touch in sheer organza and heavy silks in a monotone palate.


What do you think of the ruffles trend?

Apom DEBUTs on The Grand Social…

September 25, 2012

By admin | Published September 25, 2012


Fashion Exposed DEBUT Apparel Award Winner, APOM is the collaboration between Kajsa Kvernmo and Kate Brook, “a partnership bound by a mutual affinity for handcrafted techniques, narrative and the natural world.”

Their unique style of vintage meets modern fusion has been widely embraced and applauded, but it’s their tribute to the artist aesthetic, honouring the artisan, that truly sets them apart. APOM promotes all those involved in the creation of each garment, from the artist who creates the prints, to the manufacturers that construct each piece locally in Melbourne.

“The aim is to empower the wearer to be informed on the life of a garment, to develop an awareness of the hand of the maker, and develop an attachment to the garment that transcends the notion of clothing itself.”

You can shop the above collection at The Grand Social HERE.

Catch our interview with APOM and fellow DEBUT award winner, BRKICH as they team up for So:Me Space in South Melbourne.
