Baroque

Cocktail dresses with bustier can be executed in different ways, in different fabrics and colors, as demonstrated by modern designers presentations. For example, Oscar de la Renta included in his collection flared dresses in bright colors, while Saint Laurent opted for bold fitted silhouette.

Décor

As regards the choice of decor elements and trimming, modern designers have shown an enviable fantasy and imagination. Oscar de la Renta, Valentino, Chanel, Marchesa, Rodarte literally created cocktail dresses with a lot of ruffles, folds, layers of different levels, pleated and crepe fabrics. However, they were not limited to that, embellishing their creations with playful fringes, fluffy feathers, fur applications, perforations, detachable collar and butterflies. And we are not talking about using just one type of trim. Most designers showed dresses as if they were created by different pieces of fabric. To understand what this is about, it is enough to see Valentino clothes line, where in one outfit could be used leather, mesh, fringes, chiffon and lace.

Moreover, Versace, Valentino launched full collections of dresses with extravagant embroideries and prints. Here you can also see meanders images with hash-tags, the famous geometric print that in the new cold season broke all records of popularity. In addition, very often could be seen dresses with marine, vegetal and abstract ornaments.
