For Spring the 1990s proved popular, albeit in more relaxed and easier to wear iterations. This time around the slip dress gets revamped with an 80s twist or late 90s minimalism as seen at Theory, where Oliver Theyskens developed a whole collection around the slip dress. The 90s staple was also reinterpreted at Osklen in bright neon colors with chiffon overlays, sexy slits and a digital palm tree print. Even iridescent paneling ( another top trend in New York) seen at Jason Wu alluded to the light-hearted, feminine, prettiness of the slip dress. Wu opened his show with late 1990s it-girl, Karen Elson, wearing a sheer, halter slip dress subtly adorned with fading sequins at the hemline. The bias-cut slip dress can be paired with a biker jacket or deconstructed safari blazers or the new “goes with everything,” ribbed sweatshirt.
