Is the power dressing look back in style? At Paris Fashion Week, many designers went for a puffy sleeve look that became popular in the 1980s. The strong shoulder also creates an illusion of a smaller waist as well as a more dramatic silhouette. At Balenciaga, Alexander Wang looked to the future with a convincingly modern collection full of cocoon coats and dresses.
