I loved the show. Models were theatrically unveiled seated behind an enormous red curtain mimicking an old school theater. Wasn't so sure about some of the draping/gathering but loved the glistening dresses embellished in plastic shards which made their way down the runway. The show concluded with a brief appearance from the God of cross continental fashion design himself (minus kilt) making a quick retreat followed by a curtain close before the fat lady even sang. Wintour made a b-line for entry behind the red curtain to presumably congratulate Marc on this generally fantastic collection.
I felt it was one of Marc's most sophisticated collections for his own brand. It was easy to draw correlations between this showing and much of his work at Louis Vuitton. On seeing the plastic opaque skirts I couldn't help but be reminded of the group of models sent down the runway in transparent nurses outfits at Vuitton for the Spring/Smmer 2008 show. It also echoed the high sheen, heavy embellishment and transparency seen this year's Fall/Winter lady-of-the night vs. gendarmes at Vuitton also.
Sorry to my audience of none about how sporadic my posts are. Things are rajah hectic at the moment but there is no rest for the wicked. The fashion aristocrats are already preparing themselves to disembark from America and its offerings and ascend on the UK for London Fashion Week's Spring/Summer 2012 which begins tomorrow morning.. The next free chance I get I will try and play catch up distill the overall pickings from NYFW for you fine readers and show Pharaoh Pea in some of his favourite menswear after the busy week of fashion.
A bientot,
Pharaoh Pea.
