Peplum Dresses: Still Raging Hot

According to some fashion suave people, Peplum Dresses' have been around since ancient Greece times. This idea was prolonged in Dior’s New Look line in the 1940’s, demonstrated by icons like Joan Crawford. It just goes to show how fashion transcends over time, always looking for a new comeback.

Sadly, the figure flattering style became lost to the world until it was reunited with the fashion industry in the Summer of 2012. When these curve emphasizing dresses were showcased in many different and diverse stores worldwide, women of all body types quickly stampeded friends and fellow shoppers to get one. The style was hotter than the sun that summer, no one was safe from the heat of a confident woman and her newly acquired style. Also, not only did the general public fall in love with it. Women like Kim Kardashian and Scarlett Johansson were photographed many times wearing a Peplum Dress.

Another interesting aspect of the style is that it’s not just ‘Western’ clothing anymore. International super stars like Bollywood Actress Preity Zinta still carry on its legacy today in 2014. It's currently immersed itself into countries like South Korea, India, Germany, and now boutiques like BeSaz Boutique are continuing it in Nigeria and Ghana. Designers are also continuing the trend...lets take Nigerian fashion label, Clan for example, they recently unveiled their “Clan Classics” collection.
