Following the Fall 2010 trend of floor-grazing skirts, designers are taking it up a notch, literally, with the return of classic 50s three-quarter length skirts. Viewpoint identified this connection that designers are making between traditional and contemporary themes, initiated by the recession and the need to reconsider values. Bursting into Spring/Summer 2011 Ready-to-Wear with the rise of a fresh hemline, Designers such as Chloé and Calvin Klein Collection revealed their own versions of this trend, flaunting muted girlishness. Balenciaga and Just Cavalli elected to carry on this legacy into Autumn/Winter 2011/12, successfully affecting a notable difference. Balenciaga displayed close-fitting, dark skirts whereas Just Cavalli opted for full pleats in bright embroidery. Identified as a growing trend on WGSN since Autumn/Winter 2010/11, and every season since, this trend is limitless in terms of style, texture and colour. Style.com and Harpers Bazaar were also in step, Harpers Bazaar featuring a three-page editorial in their March 2011 issue, proving that this trend is in full swing.
This Gorman skirt reflects the endless possibilities of this trend, effecting full bodied gathers with a simple earthy colour
