During the Fall 2007 preview in New York, Milan and Paris, each designer introduced at least one piece, with one similar component—kimono sleeves. From form-fitting jackets to simple, solid colored dresses, these Origami-inspired kimono sleeves were an essential. Vera Wang, Derek Lam and Lyn Devon are among the many designers leading this trend in women’s wear for Fall 2007.
Lauren Conrad, rookie designer and star of MTV’s reality TV show “The Hills,” has introduced a collection of kimono dresses—perfect for work or a night on the town. In fact, this little number (pictured in burgundy) is not only stylish, it’s also very flattering on almost all body-types. It’s perfect in almost every except… it’s $145. Bummer. What’s a college girl to do?
Upon seeing Lauren Conrad’s new collection and being completely disappointed at the prices, I decided to turn to Forever 21 at the Town Center Mall. No matter what the trend, it seems as though this very economical store carries everything I’m ever looking for. No more than five minutes in the store had passed when I found a dress that was very similar to Lauren Conrad’s Kimono dress. And, it’s price tag? A pocket-smiling $22.80 (pictured in magenta). Good ole’ Forever 21, we can always count on you!
