*Trend: Statement Shoulders

Bold sculptural shoulders are a key trend this Spring, as we saw on several catwalks.

After the Balmain show, longer- exaggerated shoulders are officially the big thing for summer.

However, the new big shoulder isn’t just an 80’s throwback to the shoulder pad stuffed power suit.

For 2009, shoulders have new prints like a geometric edge.

When you wear this trend, it's very important to give the silhouette some balance.

A great trick is to wear your accentuated jacket with a tight fitted pencil skirt and to accessories with a belt, to emphasise your waist.

Here some great pieces as example:
