It is in “Les Indes Galantes,” the opera ballet by Jean-Philippe Rameau, that the two designers of La Métamorphose drew their inspiration. And especially these verses: "Triumph, pleasant flowers! Spread your perfumes, Revive your colors! Inconstant Butterfly, Fly in your bocage! Stop, suspend the course of your fickle flame.”

Jenny Packham
Jenny Packham Spring 2018 ready-to-wear.
It was a representation of flowers, exquisitely interpreted through the finest tulle, embroidery and crystals. Giambattista Valli's spring 2016 haute couture collection delivered a fresh bouquet of youth in beautiful dresses, short and long. I do question Valli's casting, however. These models look sixteen and while they are absolutely amazing in these dresses, the couture client is sixteen about three times over. Of course, one can argue that Valli is setting up to pass the couture torch to the daughters of their clients. After all, haute couture is a lifestyle meant to transcend generations. Back to the dresses... the gowns at the end of the show were breathtaking. I predict some will work their way onto the red carpet this award season.

Naeem Khan continually demonstrates his masterful skill and captivates us with his vision.

Enamored with
A Midsummer's Night Dream

Badgley Mischka
set the stage for a flowy, sparkly, chiffon-heavy, beautifully romantic collection. At the beginning of the show, as the lights gradually came up to brighten the runway, they revealed a wooded backdrop which reinforced the inspiration. Oversized chiffon sleeves did that too. But, there were day looks as well by the way of shorts, slacks and separates. And of course, we saw and enjoyed plenty of their signature-style red carpet dresses in all their show-stopping glory and shimmer.
