Is atlas in fashion? Top Winter 2009-2010 Trends

Long time ago women wore long gloves in the summer, hats whenever they went out and patent leather only in the warm months of the year. That was yesterday. Today, all of the old rules are going or gone. Every year we see a new one broken. It was only a couple of mounths ago that satin appeared as a daytime item of dress paired with atlas handbags and accessories or other tailored fabrics.

Atlas for daytime is the newest fashion rule. This season, the high-gloss trend on everyone's hips was shining satin. Women look simply glamorous in long cream silk satin dresses, nothing can be more womanly and beautiful then atlas attire, so we should be glad that the fashion brings us such nice surprises again and again!
