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.

Having flown over 590,000 kilometres in a single year (2012), he’s done much to push the boundaries of a fashioniser, always looking to fold one extra Tom Ford suit into his set of Samsonite cases and for one extra occasion to tie a tie for. As much an editor-at-large as he is Fashionising.com’s Editor in Chief, when he's not travelling to all the fashion weeks his passports will allow him to, Daniel works on guiding this publication’s editorial and trend views.
