It wasn’t the best outing from this talented designer. The intimate runway at the High Line Room at the Standard seems promising for seeing the clothes up-close (even from standing), but collection proved to be mixed.
The first looks — oversized boxy, zippered wrap-coats and tops in rust that were suede on the outside and shearling on the inside — were attractive, and the shape a logical step from a designer who likes to play with proportion. When those shapes turned into gold leather dresses, however, is when things began to veer off course. Wome of them — like the sleeveless fur-trimmed ones in gold and silver, or printed rust brocade — were inventive and fun.
Others were simply misfires, as were the boxy mustard dresses that followed (especially when they were paired with shiny, bright-yellow puffer bodices. The final gold lace tiered dresses were simply forgettable, and not especially attractive.
