Fall/winter, spring/summer...where's the monsoon collection?
Elise Overland's S/S 2009 presentation at a dark 19th Street space was all the proof I needed that even though my
BCBG dress and the rain weren't an ideal match, leather and sequins definitely were. Old Hollywood glamour met nineties' grunge as silk head scarves and sequined shawls peeked out from cropped motorcycle jackets, and exposed zippers met their match upon pleated silk mini dresses. Models donned rose-colored
John Lennon frames and their chunky peep-toes were the perfect contrast for the light layers. The overall look was decadent yet effortless, and can be easily reinterpreted for fall, which is good because I don't think I can wait until spring to try out these trends! Check out the slideshow to see the looks.
