Bow effect (Figure)

For a long time, the bow was not considered a symbol of fashion. It was often associated with little girls, representing cuteness rather than strength or modernity. That changed when Lady Gaga made a bold statement by wearing her hair in a bow-like style, marking the beginning of her iconic career and bringing attention to the beauty of this simple yet powerful accessory. This season, however, the bow is not as exaggerated or dramatic as Lady Gaga’s style. Instead, it brings back the elegant nostalgia of the "Mad Men" era. In the 1950s, women still embraced bows while striving for independence and strength. This influence is evident in Prada's "Fiocchetto" collection—elegant, pointed heels with delicate bow accents. Models walked the runway in thick wool socks, knee-length skirts, and those signature shoes, evoking the image of a refined woman from the mid-20th century. Chloé has also incorporated bows into their designs this season. They appear subtly on high-waisted silhouettes, sometimes draping around the neck or flowing down the front, adding a touch of movement without feeling forced. The result is a soft, feminine look that feels natural and effortless. In contrast, Salvatore Ferragamo takes a more mature approach. Their silk bow scarves paired with tough wool vests create a unique blend of femininity and ruggedness, reminiscent of a stylish huntress. It's a sophisticated take on the bow that speaks to both elegance and strength. From subtle touches to bold statements, the bow is making a strong comeback in fashion this season, proving that even the simplest details can carry deep meaning.
