It's a colorful season
Runway Report, Part IV
The last runway trend I would like to talk about is color. Now, I know you’ve heard from me on this before. And it’s definitely not a trend that is just emerging…we’ve seen it for many seasons running now. But the reason I would like to talk about it is because I think it’s finally starting to catch on. I’ve had a few clients lately say to me that they are not opposed to color, or that they would actually prefer a color. So, with that said, I would like to highlight a couple great hued dresses from the runway.
The most shocking and wonderful use of color came at Vera Wang. Not only did she use color in the beautiful cabbage roses that I talked about in the last post, but she showed gowns in magenta, amethyst, ashen rose, dark ivory, and champagne. The dress featured above is a magenta silk duchess satin shift that was beautiful and so unique! I realize that this amount of color is shocking to see in a bridal gown, and I think it will take brides some years to get used to it, but I just had to show it to you because it’s so creative!
A more subtle hue, but also very beautiful is this gown by Anne Barge. This is another gown that I used in my Dream House presentation last week because of its very flattering shape on many body types. It’s blush taffeta with a pleated bodice and pearl straps. The best part about this dress aside from the great fit is that a percentage of the proceeds from each sale go to the Brides Against Breast Cancer organization.
And lastly, this Reem Acra dress called “Heureux” was done in blue silk satin with ivory illusion at the bottom and hand crafted floral details. In classic Reem style, this dress still makes you feel like a bride while wearing a non-traditional color. Bravo!
That’s all for now…let me know if you have any questions on the trends from the runway!
Best,
Julie
