1.18 // Runway Report: Hoop Skirts (!?!)

While I doubt these will actually be worn - that would be regressing 200 years, people! - these hoop skirts *are* pretty, well, pretty.

Fendi // Spring 2009

Versace // Spring 2009

D&G // Spring 2009. This is definitely more a work of art than clothing.

Limi Feu // Spring 2009

Luella // Spring 2009

Giambattista Valli // Spring 2009. I totally adore GV’s gowns!

Charles Anastase // Spring 2009. This is such an… interesting take on the hoop skirt, I love it.

Balmain // Spring 2009. This, along with Valli’s, is my favorite hoop skirt of the season.

…et notre look du jour:

Giambattista Valli // Pre-Fall 2009
