The deplorable terrorist attacks in Paris on Friday November 13 has left 352 wounded and has tragically claimed 129 lives, including an aspiring designer named Nohemi Gonzalez, studying abroad from California.
Fashion blogger, Mai Hua New York Times thought that the explosions "were just another burst of gang violence," while a woman picking up Chinese takeout recalls a terrifying account of people "hiding under tables," and her car "riddled with bullets."

And this weekend, the heartfelt sympathy in the wake of this heinous can be seen all over social media, especially within the fashion community.

Reason # 2: Cut-Outs, Lattice, Ruffles and Sheers
The overall style of the season's collection featured cinched waists, oversized belts, and "statement-making" necklaces. Rousteing has fashioned designs that effectively meld strong looks with soft ones. This is evident in the "body-baring" lattice skirts and tops, as well as romantic ruffles.
