There was a great group of dresses with a candy colored tweed print by our own Mdivani Monroe. This was paired with a pieced argyle top, corset-like patent belts, metallic basketweave fabrics and lasercut details. Other dresses mixed brocade and spikes, embroidered tulle, chains and an ironic/pretty moth print.
I love that this designer always makes sexy, but elegant clothes that flatter power women with curves. (Michelle Obama is a consistent fan!) As intricate as the details can get in each dress, Byron never takes himself too seriously. Even with a sleek, sheath silhouette, you might find three layers of fabrics in cut-outs, lace and prints to build a layered, textured depth to the design. This then might be topped with manipulated trims or sequins or ribbon.
The amount of work and consideration that goes into each look is astounding. I am lucky enough to have started contributing to this collection is a tiny way by organizing some of the production. I get to drool over each piece as I measure and send fit corrections to the buyers.
For the lookbook shoot itself, the styling stayed simple. Straight, sleek hair pulled into variations ont on the ponytail. Makeup colors stayed naturalistic. Models Anna and Jasmin seemed to really enjoy vamping it up in outfits they loved more and more.
I can't wait to see which celebrity picks this collection up first. Care to wager a guess?
