In addition to the plethora of velvet and lace, model after model waltzed down the Fall 2009 Couture runways baring not only the couture, but hints of what lies beneath in sheer ivory, beige, and black fabrics. While designers played it safe with color during a recession year (with poor Christian LaCroix hanging on by literally just a thread), they went racy with sexy references from lingerie (Christian Dior) to the not-so-innocent litle girl dress tied in a prim black bow (Alexis Mabille), to the all-out dominatrix variety (Jean Paul Gaultier).
Call it sheer bliss, or call it sheer genius. Whatever you call it, take the trend as a cue and layer that sexy sheer chiffon blouse under your boyfriend blazer this fall. And as John Galliano might add, don't forget your underpinnings.
