Spring/Summer 09/10 Fashion Trends

Future Form

Future Form

Architectural and futuristic forms dominate the Future Form trend, as designers continue their
exploration of structure and drape. It has a modern, crisp, contemporary feel with the use of innovative
fabrics. A softer, more rounded mood redefines silhouette and shape to create a clean minimal look for
spring.

Glamazons

Glamazons

Inspiration for this trend is drawn from the high-octane glamour of the late 60s and 70s combined with
a subtle but sophisticated tribal look. Think of exotic glamazons of the time, like Veruschka, Marie
Helvin and Iman, rocking glamorously sexy patterns with a safari-esque vibe.

80s workout

80's Workout

Shake up dancewear with an injection of 80s style and functional utility detailing to form the
spring/summer 2009 hot sporty look. Think Flash dance, Fame, and Jane Fonda workout videos. This is
a youthful and commercial trend.

How to put on sheer pantyhose

Sheer garments require the greatest care when handling.  It is suggested pantyhose be put on in the following way to prolong the life of your sheers:
Step 1 - remove jewellery and ensure hands and nails are silky smooth
Step 2 - sit on a chair or the side of the bed
Step 3 - gently gather one leg down to the toe, before placing over foot (prevents twisting later)
Step 4 - ease up carefully to the knee and repeat for the other leg
Step 5 - stand and ease on both legs continuing upwards to the thigh. When both legs are firmly into
position draw pantyhose brief up to the waist
Step 6 - if the pantyhose feel too short or long, ease the legs down. Adjust gently from ankle. Never pull or yank pantyhose

Caring for your pantyhose

All hosiery will last longer if you care for it properly:

• Before buying check the size chart on the back of the pack. Wearing the correct size will increase the life of your pantyhose

• Always hand wash pantyhose separately in warm water or if machine washing we recommend you use a hosiery wash bag – check out the Kayser washbag

• Hosiery should not be left in contact with other garments when wet as cross staining may occur

• To dry, hang your pantyhose by the toes

• Avoid strong sunlight and direct heat

• When dry store in a wash bag in your draw to avoid your pantyhose getting tangled in other items
