One-Shoulder Fashion Trend: 2009 Update
Need a sexy dress update for your wardrobe this Spring? Look no further than bearing a flash of cheeky shoulder with a beautiful one-shoulder creation. Shoulders are sexy. More mysterious than cleavage and more elegant than legs; shoulders remind us of the delicacy and vulnerability of the neck.

Huge in 2008, one-shouldered pieces are again a major part of 2009's fashion trends.
Bondage / Fetish Clothing Trend Spring/Summer 2009
The line between the office shoe and the fetish heel has become increasingly blurred; while the popularity of the ubiquitous Herve Leger bandage dress has simultaneously become widespread, meaning the super-short and super-tight is more commonplace than ever. The taboo, in many ways, is not so taboo anymore. Fashion has pushed the envelope and perusing the Spring/Summer 2009 runways, it's not hard to spot the bondage and fetish inspirations behind many of the clothes; making this yet another of 2009's fashion trends.

Cutaway clothes: women's S/S 2009 trend
When it comes to 2009 fashion trends the sheer clothing trend may be the ultimate proof that throughout the year less will be more. But it's not the year's only trend doing just that.
Introducing the cutaway fashion trend where intricate missing elements of fabric work to show off glimpses of the female figure in a sexual and sensual fashion typical of women's Spring/Summer 2009 fashion.
Fairy-tale Romance: Spring/Summer 2009 Trend
Flouncing ruffles, rosette clusters, and delicate capelets. Moving away from the sleek and sexy, some designers topped off their Spring/Summer 2009 runway shows with the ultimate in romantic gowns; making the fairy-tale dress somewhat of a 2009 fashion trend.

Grecian Goddess Draping: Spring/Summer 2009 Trend
It's a logical flow-on from the one-shoulder fashion trend; a new breed of draping Grecian Goddess dresses. A notable runway trend for 2009, anything with a Grecian or Romanesque inspiration is a sure hit for the Spring/Summer 2009 season.

Oversized Bows: Spring/Summer 2009 Trend
They were on the Fall/Winter 2009 runways if you looked hard enough; but it was with the Spring/Summer collections that bows really reached trend status for 2009.

Jewel-encrusted clothing: Spring/Summer 2009 Trend
Precious stones, glass and crystals adorned many an embellished item on the Spring/Summer 2009 runways. Not limited to evening gowns, this elegant version of bling also found its way onto jackets, day-dresses and accessories.

Whether exotic or classical, bejewelled clothing is most certainly going to be a fashion trend for 2009.
Fringed Fashion: Spring/Summer 2009 Flapper Trend
It was as if a single, defined element was plucked from 2008's flapper revival, elaborated upon and then modernised. That element was fringing; and if there's one thing every girl should be partying in during Spring/Summer 2009, it's that perfect fringed piece.
Fringed pieces from Alexander McQueen, Jil Sander, Alberta Ferretti, Elie Saab, and Gaspard Yurkievich.
As a Spring/Summer 2009 trend the fringed dress or skirt becomes sleek, sexy and feminine - less theme-party flapper costume and more in the now.
Military Trend: Autumn (Fall) / Winter 2008-2009
While the luxury bohemian fashion trend takes elements from the Cossack, there's another, sharper military look taking shape for Autumn (Fall)/Winter of 2008/2009. It's a bit Sergeant Pepper; a bit rock; but it's also sleek and it's luxe.
Military looks from Temperley, Ralph Lauren, Alexander McQueen, Derek Lam & Collette Dinnigan.
Katie Holmes wears the tartan/plaid trend
Looks like hypermodel Kate Moss won't be the only one bringing the tartan and plaid trend into spring/summer 2009. Katie Holmes seems to be on her game for the last few months with her fashion picks. The latest photos we've seen of her have her in an oversized belted tartan shirt; she's managed to combine the plaid trend with the boyfriend shirt trend at the same time.
