Edwing DAngelo - Fall Winter 2011

Edwing D'Angelo - Fall Winter 2011 Given his family background in tailoring, Edwing D'Angelo did not disappoint in his Fall Winter 2010 runway show. An homage to the timeless elegance of the 40's and 50's, his collection featured finely constructed pieces in sumptuous fabrics like silk organza, Italian wool, and bridal satin. Without a puckered seam or unfinished hem in sight, D'Angelo's handcrafted creations were on par with those of Parisian couture houses. For women, D'Angelo sought to cater to the needs of the modern New Yorker. He dealed his designs mainly in black but with surprising accents. Topped in veiled and plumed pillbox hats, models paraded down the runway in flounced organza skirts and body-conscious lace sheaths. While a daring, though minimally functional, gold lamé ruffled cape dazzled the audience, the clear favorite was a black, feathered ball gown accented with an oversize red bow. However, the biggest showstoppers of the night were the Great Danes led by some of the models, adding a dramatic, yet distracting, element to the show. For men, D'Angelo favored neatly tailored three-piece suits accented with his signature red-orange lining. While the majority of the looks were harmonious in their classic sophistication, certain pieces rang discordantly—namely, a lacquered black crocodile blazer that was more reminiscent of glam rock than post-war fashion.
