It started on last year’s runways, but this year has taken the fashion world by storm. Asymmetrical dresses have become the look du jour, as the "latest in red carpet looks is the bare-shoulder accessory," according to Eve magazine, June 2008. One of the strongest celebrity trends of the season is the one-shouldered gown. From the current runways of Lanvin, Hermes and Caroline Herrera, asymmetrical gowns have been having their red-carpet moment as far afield as London, Cannes, Dubai and New York. Hollywood's hottest stars have been showing some serious scaps in single-strap gowns with goddess appeal. Stylist Philip Bloch considers the asymmetrical look an elegant, sophisticated one that flatters all body types: "By baring a shoulder, you can be sexy without being tawdry or cheap." Bloch recommends limiting accessories to face-framing earrings or a simple bracelet.
