For most of these styles it is all about modern simplicity with complex combinations of old elegant styles from 40s, 60s and 80s in a modern twist of design and construction.

Most of these catwalk styles are created on back-stage in less than ten minutes and although it may not appear practically wearable, fashion designers just love the way short styles accentuate the neck and shoulders that show off perfect tailoring. Use these styles as inspirations to find your own branded look.
