Elisa Palomino Spring 2012

Elisa Palomino’s latest collection, “A Fairy Dance” once again gave us a thoroughly thought-out, brilliant collection of exquisite feminine clothes.

Flowers were everywhere: bold huge crème roses on a luscious suede black coat; white roses and vines on a gorgeous cut-on-the-bias 30’s black silk gown; black perfect roses on a sheer black tulle flapper dress. From the black we moved on to a stunning red and bordeaux, then to the perfect robin’s nest blue and ending in the prettiest most girlish whites accented with light blue or pink. Adding to the decadence of the embroideries were the magical head pieces that topped each look: a wreath of colorful roses in metal; one gigantic rose in suede or chiffon; a red pagoda with trees made of what looked like pipe cleaners. Pure magic, pure delight!

These were clothes that every woman dreams of – dresses that dazzle, dresses that move, dresses that whisper, “now that’s a woman!”

I was lucky enough not only to see the clothes come down the runway in a dizzying display of beauty but to see the models backstage as they were getting ready. Everywhere I looked, I spotted another nymph as she came out of the makeup room and entered the changing room. It was truly a sight to behold as these fairies descended upon us, delighting us with their sheer perfection.

Elisa Palomino Fall 2011 Cibeles Madrid

Elisa Palomino’s Fall 11 collection, Sacred Forest, is inspired by the great Japanese actress Sada Yacco. A geisha from the flowery kingdom who became the first woman actress of Japan, she was a big hit on the stage of Loie Fuller Theatre in Paris, inspiring the Japonisme movement and impressionist painters, creating the bases for the Art Nouveau. The collection is inspired by the influence of Sada Yacco on the fashion of Paris at the turn of the century – the way she looked in her kimonos became the sensation of Paris. The Japanese-style motifs, such s chrysanthemums, flowers, birds and various grasses represented a new decoration thereafter and until the l920’s. The prints and embroideries of the collection combine flowers of the four seasons: irises, wisteria, chrysanthemums and plum blossoms from the flower and willow world, with lavish silks and brocades. A purple cascade of Wisteria falls from puffer kimonos and chunky knits and clusters of Noda Wisteria hang from a long fringed gown. A scene with sparrows flying around irises, peonies, and hollyhocks is richly embroidered on decadent velvet and suede frocks. Wild chrysanthemums, “Queen of Fall Flowers, symbol of simplicity and perfection grow along the hem of rich woolen coats and are lavishly embroidered on cozy mohair knits. This was a collection to swoon over. A collection so exquisitely thought-out and executed to perfection that it sets your imagination on fire. I found myself lusting over these pieces – dreaming about them for nights afterwards, counting the days until they can be in my possession.
