Listed as one of Fashion Funhouse Emporium's "Women's Designers to Watch", it seems I was not alone in choosing Yuna Yang. She can be found on a similar list from The Cut blog. The New York based designer and Central Saint Martin's graduate is showed her third collection this season.
Colors: white, black, pale pink, birght blue
Materials: lace, silk, cotton
Loved Looks
With one "house dress" and glamorous evening wear, Yang pulled together a cohesive collection which stood by her theme: "My Black Wedding Dress." If you didn't attend, the show was not about alternative goth bridal gowns, but rather a look at house wives of the 60's. With the title, the collection, the venue, one can come to the conclusion that there is a woman who's waiting to be liberated. A well done glamorous showing exuded this influence. Aside from the inspiration of the collection, Yang showed clothes that women will want to wear. The stand out looks included a stunning long sleeve white ruffled gown, a vintage-inspired movie starlet pink classic gown and a very Jackie O embellished dress.
Unloved Looks:
This look didn't read as dramatic as the other looks that were shown in the collection. Perhaps it was the ruching from the breast to the waist, but it just didn't have the wow factor.
Music
Francais, s'il vous plait!
People and Scene
Yuna Yang showed at the Hudson Hotel - Private Park. With the upscale feel and the very feminist inspiration of the collection, she managed to create a melancholy silence with the choice of this venue. Just a random thought: We need more trees at fashion week.
To Gift or Not to Gift: Hmm. Maybe I should eliminate this section all together in my reviews.
