Surfer is Oh So Chic

The word around town is that the next big trend is surfer chic, whether it be neons, neoprene, or nail color. Some examples of the basic labels that founded the "surfer" look are Roxy and Billabong. But lately many high end designers have been breaking out of their shell to create this sporty-glam trend.
Here is an excellent example of a glam gown gone surfer girl. This dress, designed by Emilio Pucci and worn by Kristin Stewart, shows the movement and flow of the waves through the texture of the gown. These "waves" help to exemplify the trend.



Here's Kristin again in another flirty yet sporty frock designed by Proenza Schouler. The prints and neon colors in this pick reflect the colors of the neoprene wetsuits and boardshorts that surfers wear.



The next picture is from BCBG's Spring 2010 RTW show. This surf-inspired dress reminds me of picturesque waves flowing in the moonlight.
