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.

Christian Siriano Spring 2011

There’s much to love about Project Runway’s darling Christian Siriano, and while we were quite dazzled by the oceanic prints of the Spring 2010 Collection last season,  this season proved to be bit more muted. Perhaps it was the color scheme of nudes and caramels and the ever present safari themed jackets and belts. “Wearable” was a word you heard quite often during the show. It was not an unexpected collection–you could say that there were no surprises. Siriano loves the dramatic gown and it was quite evident in his frothy, tulle-laden strapless or one shoulder pieces and simple, classic, ruffled cocktail dresses. His signature gown, or show-stopper, was a crimson one shoulder concoction. And while it was a sight to behold, one wonders if drama need always be the grand gesture.
