Skater style – fashion's hottest trend
Once upon a time, in the dim and distant past – around 2010 – you were no one on the front row of a fashion show unless you were dressed up to the nines. Eveningwear was quite acceptable at 9am, couture was alpha-wear and 5in heels were the minimum requirement. Fastforward to the autumn/winter 2013 shows. Fashion editors sprang from one event to another wearing hightop trainers, while the humble sweatshirt was preferred over any ballgown. Fashion, you see, has loosened up. Forget extreme heels and cocktail dresses. Trainers (Air Max) and sweatshirts (Givenchy) are now the waiting-list items and the tomboy – as interpreted by Cara Delevingne – has replaced glamourpuss as the feminine ideal.
