Long sleeves, high necks, and dusty floral prints brought eighteenth century dress to mind. Unlike previous seasons where such tendencies left a dowdy impression, this collection struck as fresh and wearable. Further, while some of the looks did appear heavy – in true eighteenth century style – there were more lightweight, delicate ones that will likely hold appeal for many in the arty-cool crowd (think Chloe Sevigny).
While it was mostly about evening dress, the capes, coats, and jackets stood out as particularly strong, notably those with embroidered and lace details.
