adding a silver fox jacket and that pinstriped tailoring rather than his early whimsy
It is more that, at only 29, he has grown up fast, adding a silver herve leger dresses sale online fox jacket and that pinstriped tailoring rather than his early whimsy. But when “slick” means an oily surface to a dress, Mr. Kane was showing his range.
The vast new White Cube art gallery in East London, with an exhibition on Anselm Kiefer, was the modernist backdrop to a collection by Erdem Moralioglu. In his Erdem collection, he relished the juxtaposition of old elegance with new fabrics — and attitude.
“It is my sense of what it takes to be a lady, a look back to 1960’s couture but with a tweed coat layered with Latex and bonded fabrics,” said the designer backstage, explaining his feeling for strict lines to contain the dense embellishment.
With Peggy Guggenheim, that kooky art collector, as his muse, Mr. Moralioglu used Latex inserts to stand in for duchesse satin, covered embroideries with trompe l’oeil effects and had tweed handpainted to take a day coat into night.
The result was a slim silhouette, rich in special effects: a chiffon dress printed to look herve leger dresses sale cheap like tweed; lace, cut out and replanted on the bodice; eye-popping shades of yellow, blue, mauve — and that just as one decorated coat.
While some proms require that all dresses are long, other’s offer the young ladies the option to wear a short dress. This year’s offerings in short hemlines also repeat the current trends. You can get a short one covered in sequins, in neon bright hues and one-shoulder designs as well.
Most of the gowns shown are priced less than $200.
With Old World couture as a score and high tech materials as instruments, the Erdem show was as pitch perfect as the Philip Glass soundtrack.
They kept Tomas Maier at Bottega Veneta, a decision that has worked out extremely well. They promoted Frida Giannini at Gucci. Her designs have been solid but hardly dazzling. Nicolas Ghesquiere, the dynamo at Balenciaga, was already in place. The other key brands in the group, Alexander McQueen and Stella McCartney, were in the hands of their creative founders.
The collection is a mix of high collared asymmetrical coats with embroidered printed pencil trousers, gowns, anarkalis, jackets and fishnet skirts with corset blouses made with cotton, satin, chiffon in the bright shades like purple, orange, pink and red.
