With spring / summer 2011 attempting to make its presence felt across many a country we’re seeing the sheer maxi dress trend evolve exactly as we had suspected it would: to be shorter.

To date though, we’d simply lacked the visual confirmation that the hemline of the sheer maxi dress trend would change in response to the weather. But, thanks to the talented eye of street style photographer Wayne Tippets, that’s no longer the case as you can see above.

Best of all, the jagged hem seems to imply that this is something of a DIY knee length sheer skirt – it’s something of a thrill to me to see trends adapted on the streets before retailers and designers have a chance to do it themselves, it shows that fashion is now a bottom up art instead of one dictated from the top down.

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.
