Women's blouses

Vintage taste and modern appeal for the new femininity

The blouse is a versatile and sophisticated garment, which origins started in the Victorian era, but which over time has become one of the most elaborate and refined pieces of women's fashion. Especially in the 80s it lived a period of true glory. In fact, is precisely to vintage fashion that the most beautiful creations of this year are inspired.

The designers bring back on women's catwalks the beautiful Victorian-style blouses, with high collars and puffed sleeves. It’s the triumph of lace, sensual like those proposed by Zimmermann, used to emphasize details like those by Stella McCartney and Self Portrait, or in the classic eyelet for the outfits by Rebecca Taylor and See by Chloe. 19th-century inspiration also for Giambattista Valli and Oscar De La Renta, who decorate their blouses with flounces and tassels.

20s inspiration, instead, for the lingerie-style satin and lace blouses by Jason Wu and those pajama-style by Alexander McQueen. 80s and 90s are reintroduced in the corset-effect satin blouses made by Saint Laurent or for the minimal ones by Giorgio Armani, who uses grey silk for his cool back crossed tops.
