Pucci Catwalk Fashion Show ss2010

Peter Dundas showed some highly elegant summerwear in his second collection Emilio Pucci.  Superfeminine and airy dresses dictated the Pucci-look for summer 2010. Dundas used snake prints, shiny and transparent fabrics and sequins. Lots of nudes, some silver, black and yellow could be seen. And some outfits in different shades of blue felt like diving into the ocean. The models showed beautiful bathingsuits with geometrical cutouts in unexpected places. There were a few pants, worn just below the knee, with buttons on the side. But those paled into insignificance next to some dresses. All eyes were on a long yellow dress with an extremely low cut neckline and the perfect finishing. A white dress almost looked like a wedding dress. Apart from a few bags and some gold-buckled belts there were no accessories. However, because of all the sequined and silver details you didn’t even miss them. Overall Dundas designed some perfect outfits in which you can lounge about on the beach or party until midnight. (Tess van Daelen)

Gianfranco Ferre Catwalk Fashion Show ss2010

Roberto Rimondi and Tommaso Aquilano only used four different shades to design their SS2010 collection, their third for Gianfranco Ferré. Their short party-dresses and feminine tuxedo-looking suits were all shown in white, ivory, gold or black. By using only these colors the designers lived up to Ferré’s idea that the color of a design is inferior to its shape. A great deal of the dresses were one-shoulder-pieces which had a round shape from the waist down and were worn above the knee. They were made out of transparent wavy fabrics and therefore showed some resemblence to the crimped hair of the models. In some of the designs shoulder pads were used. Most of the looks were finished off with very thin metallic belts, big bracelets and partly open shoes with high metal stiletto heels. The fashion show ended with some theatrical dresses on which transparant veils were attached.(Tess van Daelen)

Oscar de la Renta Catwalk Fashion Show SS10

It was not Oscar the la Renta’s best show, but there were still more than enough rich details to go around as if we’re not in the middle of a crisis.  There was a lot of color too.  A vibrant  safari suit updated with wide sleeves and cropped pants, a smart silk  dress with a draped neckline in pale melon, and a bronze linen trench with pushed-up sleeves stood out among white broderie anglaise and creamy tweeds.
