Every season I am amazed at the sheer magnitude of the
beautiful women in attendance for Dennis Basso's spring 2015 runway show.
Famous celebrities, media sweethearts, and powerful NY socialites, flock to the
tents to catch a glimpse of the designer’s latest creations for the coming season.
A moment for Joan...
In the moments before the house lights went up, and the
first heel hit the catwalk, the designer requested a moment of silence in the
theater, to honor the memory of his friend and Fashion Week staple, Joan Rivers
recent passing. It was a lovely sentiment and one I will not forget.
Luxury resorts in the 1960's inspired the designer's
Spring/Summer 2015 Collection. The women who traveled to these luxurious
destinations needed to pack a variety of chic ensembles appropriate for daytime
activities or evening events in the warmer temperatures.
In typical Basso fashion, the collection was chock full of
embroidered cocktail dresses, exquisite ball gowns, and playful separates. The colors of the collection ranged from
bright white to soft muted shades in rose, mauve, grey, and taupe. Sheer floral
prints looked modern with embellished details. The designer utilized a wide
variety of fabrics from organza and linens along with leather and furs in the
collection. Yup, that's right; Basso included his signature fur & leather
pieces, even for spring.
The standout looks for me were
Whether you agree with Dennis Basso's fabric choices or not,
there is no denying, that he stays true to his design aesthetic and vision. This collection is already making a cameo in the upcoming film, "Stealing Chanel" championed by supermodel Carol Alt. Something tells me these gowns may have a few additional Red Carpet moments during
awards season.
