Sculpted Abaya

                                                          

New Abaya trends for SS10? No! This is in fact a photoshoot from 1969 taken from YSL's fall collection.
Amazingly, on first glance this to me could easily pass of as a spread taken from a  Khaleeji (Gulf) fashion magazine.
The gold bodice  in the dresses were designed by French artist, Claude Lalanne. On close inspection you will see they are moulds of a woman's contours. The black one is definitely my favourite and very inspirational. Abaya's teamed with bodices, maybe a new trend for next year?? I know its not very commercial but editorially I think it could work.
Let me know your thoughts!!
