Faulty Hemlines

Awards season typically calls for floor-length gowns as a prerequisite, but a new trend is quickly emerging for 2012: asymmetrical hemlines. Both Donna Karan and Jason Wu are fans, and Nina Ricci and Michael Kors also continued the trend for pre-Fall. Whether it's short in the front and long in the back or shorter on one side than another, this look promises to be major on the red carpets.
