BLACK WITH WHITE STRAPLESS HERVE LEGER DRESS
The Eighties theme running throughout the New York catwalks continued with a huge emphasis on the shoulders.
Bigger is most definitely better, but rather than a repeat of the shoulder pads as seen in Dynasty, this time around the top of the arm has been given a space-age feel with pointy capped sleeves, advocated by Max Azria and Herve Leger.It seems the shoulder will be the new erogenous zone so you'd better start getting those collar bones ready for an airing. One-shoulder dresses will continue to take centre stage, as will off-the-shoulder numbers which are always great for party wear.Michael Kors' clever cut-out suit jackets looked almost unfinished but the same can't be said of Oscar de la Renta's voluminous sleeves or Carolina Herrera's gravity-defying take on the look - how did it manage to stay up?
Last of all Donna Karen's little black top shows how easy a look can be to pull off. Think Sandy in the last scene of Grease.
Bigger the better: Shoulders make their mark at Max Azria, Herve Leger, Michael Kors, Oscar de la Renta, Carolina Herrera and DKNY
