Over the past few days we’ve touted that a fair share of 2010 fashion trends will see a major redefinition of many fashion terms. We’ve had to redefine hot pants as the hem line has become a negative measurement, and we’ve also had to redefine the thigh-high dress split. Reading that fashion trend report you’ll see that thigh-high is seemingly too tame for today’s tastes and has instead come to mean ‘above the thigh’. Case in point: singer Rihanna’s dress at the Glamour Awards dinner.

You’d be forgiven for believing that Rihanna‘s dress comes from Versace; the fashion house is, after all, synonymous with impossibly high dress splits. Not so. This copper toned dress was designed by Jasmine di Milo.

Late one Oxford night Daniel P Dykes set about creating a fashion publication that would go someway to being an arbiter on fashion as it appeals to the emerging power generations: those who don't remember a world without the Internet and for whom work plays second fiddle to pleasure. And so Fashionising.com was born as a publication for those who were focussed not just on fashion's trends, but on society's too, and how those trends could all go to heighten the art of living. Hence, Daniel sees a future where, for those young at heart, both fashion and style are grounded in traditional quality, but with a youthful, sensualised edge. Daniel is Fashionising.com's Editor in Chief and Chairman.
