Edition by Georges Chakra Spring/Summer 2011 collection was a celebration of the woman’s body. Luxurious fabrics in neutral tones intermingled with bold colors like vibrant coral, turquoise lagoon and rich violet. There were also some lovely Grecian gowns in charmeuse, chiffon and crepe sheers that sheathed each model ever so elegantly. Two predominant details that enhanced the collection were the crystal beading, which adorned most of the necklines, shoulders and lines, and as well as the satin straps that were found criss-crossed, parallel and in basket woven bodices. Some pieces stood out like a capsule of lame dresses which were executed with masterful draping, particularly a short strapless one with a beaded neckline in liquid bronze that just dripped refined sexiness.

BCBG Spring 2011

The clean and modern silhouettes for BCBG Max Azria Spring 2011 felt wonderfully light with sheer, billowy mini- shifts that felt effortless and natural. Dresses remained in the neutral palette of whites and nudes and pale to deep grays. It was also nice to see a burst of coral and bright mustard in the lovely asymmetrical panels that fluttered as the models walked. Timeless simplicity will always be embraced, as evident in the celebrity and editor-dotted front row. Lace patterns appeared on crepe short jumpsuits and a definite boudoir like influence began to emerge with the appearance of an alluring black gauze embroidered dress. Max Azria dresses the woman who appreciates soft subtlety. He shows us that sensuality can exist in accordance with spare, beautiful simplicity.

Tadashi Shoji Spring 2011

Photos by Stevyn Llewellyn

The soft, ruffled romanticism of Tadashi Shoji’s Spring 2011 collection felt pulled straight out of a John Singer Sargent painting or a Tolstoy novel. In beautiful lavender, clay, ivory and stone colors, the dresses were displayed against a backdrop of threshed wheat, which lent an earthy, contrasting atmosphere to the gorgeously romantic gowns. Models were bare faced and serene, their waists wrapped in black satin ties that trailed down their sides. Short shift-like dresses bore intricate overlays of sheer lace and ruffles sprouted from shoulders and across hems. The collection was inspired by Renaissance frescos of Piero della Francesca Botticelli. The graceful interpretation felt red-carpet ready, perfect for a young ingénue.
