Femininity And Color—- Krakoff And J. Mendel Fashion Show
Reed Krakoff used to use warm minimalism to describe his aesthetic standard. Before a new fashion show, he repeatedly expresses his cool femininity. His aesthetic character is so special to change in a big range. Watching the models of today’s show, you will find that the exotic birds pattern printing on last spring series which Ann Romney wore in this morning program of CBS is totally different from this season. Except neutral color and black, the only color Krakoff uses is the pink without any printing design.
For spring/summer 2013, designers focus more on sportswear, underwear and dresses combine with both two. They may have too many differences. But Krakoff designs reticulated zipper and stand collar coat which seems interesting. And boxer shorts with layers of chiffon will be loved by girls with long slim legs. Designing a dress used to be a challenge for Krakoff. But when thinking about those embellishments, he has reasons to try to designs a evening dress. In showing of Narciso Rodriguez, it looks exceptionally hot.
This time, Krakoff shows the favorite works of his fashion life. The most attractive one is the crocodile dress.
Today, Proenza Schouler is not the first to celebrate its ten anniversary of birth. Gilles Mendel also launched his RTW label J. Mendel ten years ago. He is a kind of inheritance of his family business for it started 140 years ago in St.Petersburg. The J. Mendel Company made fur dresses especially for Russian aristocrats. What’s more interesting, most people crushed into the Lincoln center to watch the fashion show are mostly the Russian audiences set in the front seats. What do those new century women tsars see? The first is the usual one-piece dress in classic Mendel style of corset and sheer, hot, pleated short evening dresses. of course, they must see the fur dress including mini skirt and backless shirt in Russian lamb fur. It must be very cold in Russian summer.
This season, Mendel retakes its old key themes like articulated corsage style, lace, yarn on dresses and plants pattern in jacquard weave. But the lead in this season probably is the color. From soft wet light color quickly to navy blue and brown, and the vibrant orange like color of cone drum in construction. And there is even a beautiful name for it in the introduction of the show. That¡¯s the tiger fur lily. No matter what the reason is, this color actually shines in some works especially in those luxury dresses with lacing. The reason may e insistence to do what you do to perfection. In designs of modern 2013 plus size evening dresses, Mendel uses orange plants patterns to express unexpected effect. He used to get attraction by corset clipping. From the whole show, suits may be a shining point. But works of this season leave more choices for models that can fully show their charming.
