PODCAST: NYC Fashion Trends Spotted by Najwa Moses, host of the Weekly Videopodcast The In-List on Styleaholics.com: Backless Frocks, Cigarette Pants, and, Unfortunately, Babydoll Dresses. FASHIONTRIBES FASHION BLOG & PODCAST Interview - MP3 File

This week on The In List, the eclectic weekly videopodcast hosted by Najwa Moses of Styleaholics.com, tune in bright & early NY time on Tuesday, August 8 to find out what the following have in common:

• a dynamic menswear collection
• Tanqueray spokesman Tony Sinclair
• the TV show New York undercover

As a NYC nightlife denizen, Najwa knows what's going on, trend-wise. This week, there are two hits and a miss:

• BACKLESS DRESSES "I saw so many great dresses this week that look one way from the front, but are backless as a woman walks by. They're incredibly sexy, but discreet. Women are dressing up & having fun, and while everyone's always to show some flesh, they're doing it in a classy way with these totally backless gowns that are like 'wow! '" (photo from ASOS.com)
• THE CIGARETTE PANT "There are many variations of the cigarette pant, from slim all way and scrunched around the ankle, to low waisted with a wide ankle, high-waisted, and all different lengths from mid-calf to ankle length and longer, and in all different types of denims and fabrics."

• BABY DOLL DON'TS "The Babydoll dress...Sigh. I was at a concert the other night, and a young lady walked by in a peppermint stripe, ruffled scoop neck babydoll. It was just plain ugly. She was in candy stripes with two pony tails - I couldn't tell if she was auditioning for Playboy, or whatever. I'm not going to say you have to be a model to successfully wear a babydoll, but it helps. A lot."
