We’ve been hearing how absolutely HOT bubble skirts are on the European runway.  As you probably know, fashion in the US is always just a little bit behind them.  And, kids’ wear is behind that.

So - should you look for a bubble skirted dress for your next big event?

According to Gregg Andres, fashion director for Nordstrom during a recent designer preview fashion show held in Chicago:

“The exaggerated shapes fo this season are on the ”out” list for adults this fall, as styles highlight the longer, leaner silhouette. . . . Fashion is going from soft and round to more angular for a ‘cleaner, less-complicated aesthetic’ he says.  Gone are bubble hemlines and lantern-shaped sleeves, replaced by pencil skirts and straighter jackets.  Think triangular.”        Quoted from Hudson’s Childrenswear Preview September 2007

As adult fashions change, children’s follow close behind.
