A season’s high (or low) always presents the opportunity to see how a trend evolves to cope with the change in weather. Snapped on the streets of New York, this particular piece of street style gives us a chance to see how the sheer maxi skirt has evolved to cope with the heat of summer 2011. Unsurprisingly it’s gotten shorter, and isn’t quite so maxi anymore. It’s a stylistic change that isn’t quite necessary, however, given the trend’s skirts and dresses almost always included a shorter skirt overlaid with a longer sheer one.

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.
