Fashion Designers Going to Longer Lengths To Reflect Female Rise to Power

Proving skirts can be utterly fabulous in any weather. The Fall NYC 2010 runway showcased below-the-knee A-line skirts are the must-have item to combat Mr. Frosty. Oscar de la Renta and Marc Jacobs showed how to wear the comeback item with finesse so that the modern fashionista can still show of her feminine wiles while remaining toasty warm this winter. Creating a leaner silhouette and showcasing those hard-earned, toned calve muscles these beauties will definitely be at the front of my wardrobe.

With the appointment of Julia Gillard as the the new Aussie PM, it's only fitting female's embrace the power skirt to wear in their powerful roles. Gillard was sworn in by Australia's first female Governor-General, Quentin Bryce, at Government House in Canberra on June 24th. Gillard is supported by other powerful female Labor politicians including: Nicola Roxon (Minister of Health and Ageing), Jenny Macklin (Minister for Families, Housing, Community Services and Indigenous Affairs ) and Senator Penny Wong ( Minister for Climate Change, Energy Efficiency and Water). Not to discount Newcastle's representative in New South Wales Legislative Assembly and the NSW State Government Minister for Tourism, Jodi McKay.

How to Wear a Below-The-Knee, A-Line Skirt:

1) Texture can liven up an old trend. Oscar de la Renta's green, tweed, below-the-knee, A-Line skirt freshened the look with colour and vivacity.

2) Modernise the old trend. Marc Jacobs signature ankle socks and heels wore with skirt notched the 50s era power skirt to a 2010 fashionista staple.
