FashioNXT Portland Day 4


Last night was the night of couture fashions as six world-renowned designers presented their Spring/Summer 2014 looks on the runway. Former Project Runway designer Fabio Costa and partner Rebecca Diele were first up as they presented a clean, cohesive and contemporary collection of leathers, suedes and silks. Their hand-painted fabrics and minimalist design aesthetic showed their true innovative spirit, and set the tone for the other designers. It came to nobody’s surprise that Michael Costello would set out to create top-of-the-line red carpet gowns that were exquisitely detailed. Michael gave a modern and sleek twist to the Victorian bustle dresses, as was expected. The Walter Collection was a little reminisent of a black-tie affair with a number of formal gowns and some very short mini dresses that didn’t leave much to the imagination. Seth Aaron gave an exquisite three-piece collection of overly dramatic, yet beautifully crafted gowns with something that looked liked roses as their head piece. I could only imagine how stunning those three dresses would photograph in a fashion editorial. – From the press release
