Steeped in her own sense of personal style, Roksanda Ilinicic's spring runway collection was imbued with dramatic elegance. Fluid silk satins, contrasting block colors and flowing silhouettes reigned supreme and every piece was noteworthy. This asymmetric column dress took themes from the show, such as; oversizing, masterful draping and sinuous fabrics and combined them in one striking yet elegant evening look. With couture-like detailing, seductive shoulders and feminine flourishes, this is the piece for you if you have a penchant for the dramatic in your eveningwear. Best suited to a smaller frame, this style is snug and you may wish to take the next size up. Shown here with Jimmy Choo shoes and an Oscar de le Renta bag. 100% silk. Dry clean. UK sizing.
You don't have to be in the front rows to tilt your head at one of Spring 2009's most notable trends. Designers have been dabbling in asymmetry for some time now but this time around, one-shouldered dresses were put front and center, a significant departure from previous seasons where the daring look seemed to be pushed to the sidelines. Max Azria looked at asymmetry from a different angle with a one-shouldered, bias cut gown with a front halter strap, while Marc Jacobs indulged in his signature offbeat style sending a model down the catwalk in a quirky, single shoulder-baring top. Nicole Miller layered a structured asymmetrical shift over a crisp shirt dress making the look oddly workplace appropriate, and BCBGMAXAZRIA's coral-pink asymmetrical dress was draped so beautifully, giving the illusion that it was falling off the model- intentionally, I'm certain.
