Short
Hemlines and Seamed Pantyhose
Sometimes what you
don't notice at first is the sexiest thing showing |
|
Derek Lam unveiled his
spring collection September 9th with models wearing black
pantyhose with seams down the back.
It's probably the first time real modern pantyhose have been on
a New York Fashion Week runway in years. The dark covered leg
added a bit of sultry
seductiveness. Pantyhose maybe a comeback.
Lam loves to show a short hemline, turning out some of the
tiniest skirts and shorts of the season. He balanced them well,
though, with subtle colors and looser it shapes on top; a
leopard-print, shirt-style mini dress was a great example.
He also offered a few daytime outfits that would meet office
dress codes, including a navy short-sleeve safari jacket that
looked smart with the billowy sleeves of a gray spot-print
blouse peeking out. |

There also
were gray-and-white shorts _ not the super-short kind _ that
were elegant enough to pass as a part of a cocktail party
outfit, especially with a black shirt jacket in lacquered
sateen. The print on the shorts was ikat, a weaving technique
native to Uzbekistan that Oscar de la Renta and others have
taken a liking to for print patterns in recent years.
For evening there was a noteworthy group of outfits with navy,
red and white beading in a large floral pattern that didn't look
like anything this increasingly jaded fashion crowd is getting
more than halfway through the spring previews.
A white georgette scarf dress was reminiscent of some of the
other 1930s-inspired looks already offered by other designers,
but Lam was lovely, sexy and glamorous nonetheless. |
