Yes! You Can Wear Bodycon!
Bodycon has been a style that has been popular since the late 1980’s, when Amazonian like supermodels such as Linda Evangelista, Cindy Crawford and Naomi Campbell seemed to pour their perfect bodies into very unforgiving dresses, and the rest of us mere mortals watched and wept, hoping that this trend disappeared very soon in favour of something more flattering. Herve Leger and Azzadine Alaia were kings of this trend, and Robert Palmer had a video full of models/musicians in bodycon with a red slash of lipstick and slicked back hair.
