Surprising and enchanting, the bubble skirt has been igniting passions on social media since it reemerged from our attic. A key piece from the 1950s and then the 1980s, this bubble skirt brings volume back to our everyday life. A piece that makes a big impact, even on runways, and invites puffed silhouettes to join in this summer. An analysis of a new volume trend.
The bubble skirt: from Lady Diana to Jacquemus
Bubble skirt, puffball skirt, bouffant skirt… There are many names to describe this piece as fascinating as it is unexpected and which marks its return this summer. This creation with a recognizable silhouette had its heyday in the 1980s, notably thanks to the outfits of Lady Diana.
After many years in the shadows, this iconic piece is now back in the hearts of designers. From Marine Serre to Coperni, and Miu Miu, runways are once again welcoming its daring silhouette, in long or midi versions.
We can particularly mention the Chouchou show by Jacquemus which turned out to be an ode to this piece. The designer reimagined it in transparent fabrics or as a giant bubble dress. Pieces that resonate with his mini puffball skirt that walked down the runway a few years ago amidst lavender fields.
The bubble skirt: the puffed skirt that dominates trends
Accumulating billions of views on TikTok, the #puffbubbleskirt trend rides on other current trends. Indeed, the remnants of ballet core and other coquette aesthetics are welcoming this extension of their universe with open arms.
We thus discover this bubble skirt in different lengths, ranging from maxi to mini cuts. It can be worn as a basic skirt or layered over pants or embroidered tights.
The bubble dress: the new version of your silhouette
Alongside the return of the skater dress, tennis core spirit, the puffed dress is also making its comeback.
The bubble skirt inspires a reimagining of its cut in dresses. We have seen a hint of volume delicately placed at the hem of dresses at Loewe. Or a cut that completely envelops the model at Altuzarra. Whether with straps or a bustier, each dress model is redesigned to incorporate this bouncy visual. Some are crafted at the waist, while others are placed along the length.
Puffed tops: for a charming dose of volume
This note of volume also integrates at the bust! We discover tops of various cuts inspired by the relief of the bubble skirt. These can fall at the waist or even drape over pants in a layering spirit.
If this spirit of volume appeals to you, the puffer bag or quilted bag might catch your eye. Its generous quilted spirit has become the samba of the leather goods scene. We see it everywhere on the streets, notably the Cos XXL model.
