Warning: The writer of this review may be biased towards
Alber Elbaz and may deem him to be almost god like in the fashion world. Jokes
apart, I find Alber’s creations to be the epitome of perfection,
femininity and grace. For this resort collection, there was a little bit of
everything; cocktail dresses, wedding dresses, sneakers, sporty dresses; choose the kind of lifestyle
you want or have and there you have an outfit for it!
The one common factor was
glamour; each outfit exuded glamour, even the sneakers were sensational. Lamé,
brocade, jersey, tulle, python skin, neoprene; this collection was a fabulous
play on textures and fabrics. Oh, there were embellishments, and lots of it on
some of the dresses and none of it was over the top, the gold brocade dress in particular
was my favorite. I almost dropped dead at the sight of a 50’s style HOT red
cocktail dress in one look and a python skin trench coat in another; well, who wouldn't? There was also some cool work wear, especially
a fuchsia pantsuit.
The best part about most of the collection was that none of it looked too constricting, there seemed to be room to move around in these clothes rather than looking like a stuck up cow in ultra-tight silhouettes.
Don’t get me started on the opulent chunky necklaces; Indian
inspired paisleys, rapper inspired numbers and the famous Egyptian scarab beetles!
Alber always comes up with quirky jewelry. As for bags, there were mostly clutches, and I LOVED the box clutch
with paisleys on it along with the red one shown with the red cocktail dress.
