Normally I find the New York Times Thursday Style trend pieces a little silly, but I think this one, on the trend towards longer, billowy hemlines in women's skirts and dresses, has two things to recommend it. First, the accompanying photo, in which Julie Houts (far right) pulls off this look to absolute perfection. Second, the fact that the author (Ruth La Ferla) actually does a good job placing this style in its historical context, rather than trying to intimate that it's something completely new and extraordinary. Most fashion is a recycled idea, and trying to pretend otherwise is disingenous at best, so this article certainly gets my approval.
