PSA: Bubble skirts aren’t going anywhere. During London Fashion Week, designers embraced voluminous silhouettes with a strong emphasis on bubble skirts. Marques’Almeida wowed with a bubble-hem short-sleeve dress, Simone Rocha showcased a bold and billowy skirt and top, and JW Anderson presented a more minimalistic approach with a tank-top frock. Despite their individual interpretations, all these designs shared a common element—the use of luxurious satin. This opulent fabric elevated the garments, giving them a sophisticated and romantic appeal, making them perfect for an upscale cocktail party. Love them or not, get ready to see more of these balloon-like shapes in the upcoming year.

Florals for spring aren’t groundbreaking, but the beauty of florals in spring is that every season brings a delightful surprise in the form of a unique floral arrangement. Last year, the spotlight was on single-stemmed florals, but this year, we’re being enchanted by the delicate charm of baby blooms—pastel flowers that are small and exquisite and akin to baby versions of full-grown blooms. At shows like Emilia Wickstead, Erdem, and Richard Quinn, the print showcased multiple single stems scattered across dresses, skirts, and even pantsuits. If you recall Daisy Edgar-Jones’s daisy-print skirt from her Twisters press tour in July, this spring’s print trend bears a striking resemblance to that captivating style.

Additionally, 16Arlington presented an effortlessly swaying asymmetrical fringe top paired with tailored black pants, exuding a sense of chic sophistication.

Sequin dresses have recently experienced a resurgence, shaking off their outdated reputation from previous years. Thanks to clever styling adjustments and changes in shape, sequin dresses now feel modern and suitable for any social event. For instance, at Nensi Dojaka, a striking black sequin dress was showcased, featuring a distinctive cross-neck design and sequins embellishing transparent fabrics. Burberry presented a captivating off-the-shoulder sequin design with delicate ruffle trims, and JW Anderson introduced a playful shift dress crafted from sequins in various colors. Moreover, using gem-like sequins and more oversize paillettes instead of smaller embellishments has given them a more sophisticated allure. Ultimately, these sequin dresses were anything but simple in their shape and design.
