After a two-year break, Vera Wang returned to the New York Fashion Week runway with a moody and visually arresting show that featured high-couture lingerie elements, hippie hair, and heels so spiky that some models struggled to stay on their feet.
Camisoles. Bustiers. Garters. Corsets. All of these were on full display in a show that took place in a dark room punctuated by dramatic columns of white light. The show was titled: “Seduction. Layering to Reveal. Done and Undone.”
Colors were mainly black, gray, white and metallic — but, typically of Wang, mostly black. Charmeuse, silk, lace and tulle were in abundance.
“California Dreamin’” was on the soundtrack, and that’s what was on Wang’s mind, too, she said, as she developed her collection, though to others there was a distinct Victorian feel as well.
“It was a California dream, yeah, sexy, underwear, layering, things falling off,” she said in an interview backstage.
