One Sleeved Wonders

Winter has passed and designers are ripping their sleeves off and baring an arm to celebrate spring's arrival! - Literally!
ONE sleeve is a look of the moment and can be seen in collections by Michael Kors, House of Holland, Givenchy, Hérmes, Costume Nationale, Hérve Léger and so forth. Designers seem to be ridding their winterous cabin fever by baring one arm just to tease us as we await the summer heat so we can bring on the minis sans tights. These solo-sleeved looks are playful, yet difficult to perfect. Some critics of this style feel it looks as if the designer simply ran out of fabric or time to finish the dress. Fair enough I suppose, however style.com reports demonstrates how most designers surpass this critique by ensuring the sleeve that remains is strong and structured. 

Will you bare an arm and join the springtime celebration?
