Owing to the return of
classical eighties styles
in a slew of Spring/
Summer collections
this year, it was hard to
miss the reappearance
of strong power
shoulders. Designers like
Anthony Vaccarello
of Yves Saint Laurent
are celebrating the
independence of
modern women
and giving them the
sartorial armour for the
21st century.
Demna Gvasalia
took a clean and
structured approach at
Balenciaga, inserting
whalebone rods
across the shoulders of
jackets and coats to
create colossal volume
on shoulders; Céline’s Phoebe Philo presented
her collection as a mix-and-match of these
emaciated shoulder pads paired with miniskirts or
cropped trousers and DKNY distinguished them by
giving a new touch to old elements such as the
classic blue blazer getting a twist with the neo-
minimal geometric elevations.
