Wow.
That was the general reaction to the gowns by various designers seen on the Spring 2010 runways. Models looked like sex on a stick – in a designer fashion kind of way, of course. Maxi dresses with slits up to the thigh, and tightly fitted cut out dresses cut to the hip were all the rage. Soft fabrics were contrasted with metallic, carefully constructed slits outlined in beading. Other gowns showed off two slits, which dared to question whether such a piece could still be considered a dress.
Whether placed in front, on the side, in the back, or in groups of two or more, these slits were hot and require a nice pair of lean legs to compliment the look. Even when seen paired with stockings, the sex appeal was not lost.
