Dorothy Perkins fuses nostalgia with modern twists
MANILA, Philippines - Dorothy Perkins pays homage to the golden ’50s and the eclectic ’70s, fusing together elements of these two memorable periods for a buzz-worthy summer fashion line that is both nostalgic yet modern.
The ’50s fashion flair is seen in the seaside holiday theme, from got-to-have denim capri slim pants — cinched at the waist with a slim belt and paired with a summer shirt in block color palette.
The shaped dress and dirndl skirt bring back the glamour of ’50s Madison Avenue, with tamer billows and less of the bigness to conform with today’s style. Flowers and prints make these pieces breathe with the rhythm of the seasons.
The ’70s groove is seen in blasts of colors that are either bold and loud ranging from tangerines to canary yellows for an urban chic effect, or in little elegant details.
Capturing the ’70s sexy slant are flowing, draped shirtdresses in blocked colors of bright green or cobalt. Backless and mini-dresses draped with denim jackets are a sure hit. A soft, cinched long tee in multi-shades brings the disco fever to mind. Paired with dark, shapely leggings, it is your best bet for a casual chic ensemble. There are jumpsuits and silhouette pieces as well as embellished details from beads to crochet that scream of boho decadence.
