About Acne
Thank you Jonny, co-founder of Acne, for being the force behind Acne. In 1997 he was inspired to create one hundred pairs of jeans for friends, family and clients. This spawned into what we now know as Acne, a brand that has rocketed to the top of the a-list celebrities’ most-wanted denim. Acne has received 5 awards for design, including some of the most coveted Elle’s “Designer of the Year” and “Denim Designer of the Year”; which is amazing considering Acne started as a branding company!

About Staerk
Danish born Camilla Staerk began her design career in London, where she was dubbed by British Vogue “a future star.” Top Shop (London’s version of H&M) has awarded her their New Generation Award three times. She has since relocated to New York, introducing new, more American ideas to her clothes, while maintaining her “Staerk-ness.” Inspired by suburban America in the early 1990’s, Walk With Me, her Spring/ Summer 2008 collection, is Camilla Staerk’s first official American collection. Drawing ideas for colors and silhouettes from a high school girl’s wardrobe, this collection plays with innocent colors mixed with restricting fabrics. An unexpected blend of textures and shapes brings a womanly air to this girlie collection.

Too Much Skin

Now that the weather is finally warmer, everyone has been taking their summer dresses out for a stroll in the sun. And its nice. Adds a lot more color and shape to the monotonous winter hues in the streets.

Unfortunately for me though, I’ve also been seeing a lot of skin. Too much skin. Maybe I am just conservative,
but it really is not a pretty sight. A girl in class the other day was wearing a thin cotton summer dress with a very low v, very similar to the one shown above from UO. And for the three hour duration of the class, I could NOT stop staring at her chest! I am not being perverted here, its more like how people are drawn to look at a car wreck even though they know its going to be gruesome. The dress was just so LOW, it looked like her chest was going to spill out any minute with one of her wild gestures- and I don’t think she was wearing a bra!
Personally I don’t really have this problem because a) my chest is non existent b) I don’t have a dress like that because I think it is too low cut, it doesn’t fit me well and there is not a bra I can think of that will work (and going bra-less feels weird) c) even if I DO have such a dress, I’d probably wear something like a laced spaghetti strap underneath. Not that I am saying there is anything wrong with a dress of this cut. It can be very flattering on the right body shape. What I AM trying to say is that should you be wearing one PLEASE be aware not to expose too much skin. I don’t mean to be a prude, but it is just not sexy or in any way aesthetically pleasing. Take in the straps. Wear something underneath. Anything.
And while we are on the subject of over exposure, if your summer dress happens to be super sheer like the one above, please remember to wear a slip or under-skirt underneath. We don’t need to know what underwear you are wearing or the shape of your legs under the dress.
