In an overt backlash to the trends of the past, present day fashion designers are opting to populate their catwalks with excessive fabrics and taking great pains to show that the excessive sexuality of fashion shows past, is definitly a trend of the past.

Some refer to this as the "Muslim-ization" of fashion. I believe that's unfair label on an overdue trend! Hot on the heels of Victorian and Edwardian fashions of last season, this season's offerings leaves even more to the imagination. Therefore, this trend should not be so shocking! I believe by focussing on clean lines and inventive shapes designers can assemble visually stimulating collections.

Why am I so happy? Less gym time! No, who am I kidding, I'll still go to the gym. But, I like the idea of the "new erotica" being sexy, chic and covered. Perhaps this trend will extend to allow women in their mid 20's to grace catwalks and be epitomized as sexy? Maybe a few little curves? eh?

This young fashionista refuses to lament! Embracing modesty can lead to an interesting trend... maybe it would encourage Britney Spears to begin wearing shoes? Maybe it'll encourage over processed aging stars to hold back on the Botox? Maybe, it'll save Madonna from future overexertion in tiny leotards, because Hernias are just not that fun!
