Tess Giberson Fall 2011


Tess Giberson’s Fall 2011 Presentation at Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week in New York. Giberson’s theme “Collage” combines deconstructed garments with contrasting elements. The use of Crochet knits, stretch leather, appliqued silk chiffon, and laser-cut tulle dominate the collection. Tones of nuetral grey bases were mixed with a range of indigos and blacks. Jewelry by Ninh Wysocan complimented the collection.

Tadashi Shoji Fall 2011

Model Jia Jing in Tadashi Shoji





When a designer looks to the natural world for a point of reference, it’s always interesting to me how they will interpret something so literal– will it manifest itself in an impressionistic manner? Go beyond the natural to something hyper-real? Will it be a point of departure or a held meditation? For Tadashi Shoji, who last year gave us that wonderful backdrop of what looked like threshed wheat against light-as-air gowns, the answer is one of mood, harmony and balance. The Fall 2011 collection proved to us again where his strength lies: the cocktail gown. In deep, vibrant jewel tones and feathered skirts, the dresses offered a rich, avian perspective next to more subdued dark lace. Organza floral detail provided textural interest and silk chiffon floated down the runway in colors such as claret, pebble, sunglow and moss.
