New Silhouette !

In fashion terms a Silhouette is the overall outline, or shape of a garment. Three basic silhouettes form the basis for all clothing and are considered long-run fashions. These cycle over a period of years; the bell, with outer form rounded to waistline; the straight, hangs from the shoulders; and the bustle back silhouette. A-line and V-shape are modifications of the straight silhouette.

I've noticed that for the Fall 2009 Collections most designers have at least one "broad-shoulder" or "wide-shoulder pads" garment wether its a dress, a suit, or simply a blouse. My personal opinion on these new styles is that it doesn't matter how fashion forward you are, you're most likely not going to be able to pull this look off.
