THE NEW ROMANTICS



This season, designers put a fresh spin on vintage-inspired ladylike dressing with collections that embraced romantic refinement. The long and flowing florals seen at Dolce & Gabbana, Erdem and Chanel were punctuated with soft pleating, layers of lace, and airy chiffon to convey a delicate sense of nostalgia with a distinct hint of prep. A sophisticated ode to the style of The Great Gatsby, the look is all about classic prep that has been elegantly enlivened with a dose of whimsy.
