Guili Spring 2011

Guili presented a collection for a globe-trotting fashionista. Spring 2011 will consist of a worldly color palette with earthy greens and blues, burning sunset shades of ochre and golds, as well as shimmery neutrals. There was an obvious nod to ethnic inspirations in the ikat prints, intricate embroidery, Navajo motifs and Mexican scarfs fringes. Silhouette-wise, the collection was just like its traveling girl, as in allover the place. There was a-line, empire, shift and tent dresses, cropped tops, high and low waisted pants, harem pants, a skirt/belt thing and even an apron. As if she back-packed through multiple countries collecting various articles of clothing from different cultures and then paraded them all down a runway.

Custo Barcelona Spring 2011

In his trademark style of bright, collage-like prints and varying textures, designer Custo Delmau once again delivered an Ibiza-inspired, ready-to-wear collection for the jet set. This season, we noticed that the colors were a bit muted and softer to the eye, and a surprising neutral nude-colored dress was in the mix. There was a Bohemian feel to the loose belted shifts and the rainbow color spectrum. Batik and tie-dye prints were prevalent and so were fun, feathered minis worn with easy, off the shoulder long tees. Dresses were still fitted and sexy, full of asymmetrical lines and punches of color. It was nice to observe the designer using earthier tones and going a bit softer with his color palette. Pinks were duskier and the blues were more powdery. We like the direction he’s going in.

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.

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.
