Ever since we saw Kate Moss at Glastonbury we were predicting a return of 1920s elements. The flapper trend set in slowly but surely, and the Spring / Summer 2008 runway shows were there to push it along.
Loose-fitting dresses with embellishments like fringing and beading, particularly in vintage styles, will take over from the more mod minis and smocks of the past season. Drop-waists aren't a requirement in 2008, where waists are otherwise emphasised and revered, and the trend will populate into a variety of different fits and cuts.
