Astonishing and enchanting, the bubble skirt has sparked passions on social media since it reemerged from our attic. A signature piece of the 1950s and then the 1980s, this bubble skirt brings volume back to our daily lives. A piece that makes a big impact, even on the runways, and invites puffy cuts to join it this summer. An analysis of a new trend in volume.
The bubble skirt: from Lady Diana to Jacquemus
Bubble skirt, puffball skirt, bubble skirt, puffy skirt… There are many names for this piece as fascinating as it is unexpected, marking its return this summer. This creation with a recognizable silhouette had its heyday in the 1980s, particularly 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, including Miu Miu, the 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 in the form of a giant bubble dress. Pieces that echo his mini puffy skirt that paraded, a few years ago, amidst the lavender fields.
The bubble skirt: the puffy skirt that dominates trends
Accumulating billions of views on TikTok, the #puffbubbleskirt trend is riding 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 with trousers or embroidered tights.
The bubble dress: the new version of your silhouette
Alongside the return of the skater dress, tennis core spirit, the puffy dress is also making its comeback.
The bubble skirt inspires a reimagining of its cut. We have seen a touch of volume delicately placed at the bottom of dresses at Loewe. Or, a cut that completely envelops the model at Altuzarra. With straps or a bustier, each dress model is rethought to incorporate this bouncing visual. Some work it at the waist, while others place it along its length.
Puffy tops: for a charming dose of volume
This note of volume also integrates on the bust! We discover tops of different cuts inspired by the relief of the bubble skirt. These can fall at the waist or even extend over the trousers in a layering spirit.
If this spirit of volume captures your heart, the puffer bag or quilted bag might catch your eye. Its generous quilted spirit has become the samba of leather goods. You can only see it in the streets, particularly the Cos XXL model.
