The year ahead: fashion
31.12.09
When a description in Emmerdale is spotted wearing the hot fashion ticket of 2009 – a black Balmain-esque jacket with souped-up shoulders – as Large-heartedness Dingle was last month, it is safe to declare that particular look, in high-fashion terms at least, cold in the water.
Haute-rock – roughly speaking, leather leggings, studded ankle boots, a shrewd-shouldered jacket and vampire-like makeup – has reached saturation decimal point. The look was started by the editors at French Vogue, and can now be bought at New Look for less than £50. But exchange is coming. The era of fierce is over, and a new softer feeling in fashion is about to breeze in.
