Fashion and Design World Today

Its looks as though hemlines are going to be dropping way below the knees in the following months as longer skirts are making a splash in the fashion scene. Skirts that drop to the floor have been seen from many celebrities this summer. They come in printed or floral light fabrics. They’re worn with large belts. They look kind of Bohemian inspired. But the trend also stretches to fall or winter wear, with plain, thicker fabrics for the skirts. In our day, we used to call this the “balloon skirt”.
