Spring 2008 Trend: Sassy Cut-Outs

The latest scoop on what fashion is IN: well, it's about more skin. No, I'm not talking about mini dresses or deep cleavage. Designers gave us more reasons to work the hell out those abs: short, uber sexy dresses featuring naughty cut-outs, with focus on the midriff and the waist area.

Cut-Outs

Left to right: Blumarine, Christopher Kane, Iceberg, Louise Goldin, Marc Jacobs.

Second row: Marchesa, Peter Som, Preen, Valentino and Dsquared.

There was quite a generous array of "peek-a-boo" dresses up on the runways, from flirty frocks (Peter Som) to boudoir looks (Marc Jacobs, Dsquared). Bold colors, shiny, glossy fabrics and sassy cut-outs: this is going to be a hot summer!
