Zac Posen Fall-Winter 2013-2014 RTW Fashion Show


Mood/style:
The padded rooms and ornaments of the Terrace Room at the Hotel Plaza are a perfect frame for Zac Posen’s fashion show and for his theatrical and romantic way of doing things that is almost Proust-like. 

Embroidery, soutaches, colors that shine like jewels, brocade and velvet, whishes of silk and panier shapes: dresses designed for a modern-day Odette, frozen in the time of a fascinating seduction, but ready to offer herself to the flashes of today’s red carpet .

Lengths:
below-the-knee and calf-length. Long with a train for the evening

Colors:
bordeaux, rust, mahogany, opal, pink, camel, fern, orchid, ink, citrine, ink, mauve, lapis

Fabrics:
stretch duchesse, velvet, cashmere, laminated tweed, stretch tweed, devoré chiffon, crepe, chenille, ottoman, mink, nutria, fox

Shapes:
for the daytime, little jackets with fitted waists and little basques accompany snug mermaid skirts that are draped or in frilly chiffon; brocaded coats worn over tweed pantsuits. For the evening, elaborate tops and long dresses embellished by embroidery and soutaches. Short dresses in devore chiffon in lines that are flowing and dancing

Accessories:
velvet pumps with ankle straps and high heels.
