lanvin, style
Runway shows are a place where designers can indulge in their dramatic, showstopping fantasies. Project Runway is a perfect example, where the designer with the floor-sweeping gown is often the winner of the challenge (or at least highly praised). This season, after a long run of minimalism and focus on wearability, designers got to play designer- and many didn't hold back, freely using yards of fabric for long, flowing full skirts and dresses.
The interesting take on all of these pieces is that they are all still...wearable. Unlike a big, over-the-top evening gown, these pieces all have a light, casual air about them. It was a refreshing sight after many seasons of "HARD" fashion: short, constructed tulip skirts, sparse (clean) pantsuits, crisp suiting fabrics- and too-tight-too-short body-conscious leggings and bodysuits.
Detailed patterns were printed onto sheer chiffons, and skirts were cut in full, floor-sweeping lengths in fabrics with gorgeous drape. Everything was cut to move freely, gracefully, and breezily. It was a visual breath of fresh air. We'll be seeing more of the long skirt!
