Naeem Khan Fall 2013

I always think of Naeem Khan as a dressmaker to queens.  His regal style always involves ornate beading and embroidery. Mr. Khan's factories have long mastered the artisanal skill of this fashion art.  The silky velvets and golden threadwork are often associated with royalty garb in multiple cultures.

The silhouettes are sexy, but a certain modesty implied which I'm sure reflects his international clientele.  There were rich teals, garnet and shades of black perfect for a night at the opera.  More glittering dresses were no doubt waiting to be chosen for an upcoming red carpet while long elegant gowns in luxurious fabrics were probably headed to charity galas.

While the Naeem Khan show is traditionally not one of the crazy, paparazzi bait front rows, A-list celebs in attendance included Matt Damon who counted himself a fan for the fact that his wife Luciana Barroso looked fabulous in his clothes.

This fall 2013 collection is for women who have graduated from dressing like a princess and ready to reign as queen.
