Most everyone, the world over, romanticises the warm hues of autumn. There’s a commonality. Commonality in fashion trends, across different cultures and with such speed, can be surprising, however. Take the sheer maxi dress trend as a prime example. Slated as a 2011 trend for the West, here it is as a part of a Autumn / Fall 2010 editorial in the Russian edition of Glamour.

Russia’s own take on fashion is, of course, not that far removed from the Western take in the least. But take new media, with all its minute-by-minute fashion coverage, and globalisation out of the equation and I suspect it would be quite some time before this D&G maxi dress reached editorials outside of a few locales.

The look comes from Glamour Russia’s We Heart NY editorial, which you can see below.

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.
