Cynthia Steffe Fall 2011

Thanks to Erin, I was able to attend the Steffe Fall 2011 Fashion Show! 

There is a modern approach to the garments seen at Cynthia Steffe. A sense of youthful attitude was developed from the different garments seen here. The combination and mixes of femininity with masculine tailoring develops a sexy overall look. Velvet, plisse satin and lame are used even for daytime looks. Metallics were used to make hot pants, leather for sophisticated skirts, and delicate silks for draped dresses and tops. Saturates shades of burgundy, forest green and bronze are mixed with other earthy color tones to create a glamorous statement.

Jeremy Laing Fall 2011

Jeremy Laing's construction method displayed a clear understanding of structure and draping. We get a slight sense of goth and glamour through the color tones ranging from deep olive green, charcoal, dark brown, as well as graphic prints from outer space. I love the hem of the skirts as they drape down the floor. The different necklines played a huge role in creating that overall "look"- some wore turtlenecks, while the rest wore button ups etc. The fabric he used also contribute to the sophistication of the collection, we saw jersey and velvet the most. Not to mention, the styling, hair and makeup made a great combination with the garments seen here.
