What do you wear to the finale? How about we chat about it in details in the next post?! Luckily it wasn't raining, as it was on Thursday evening. But it was FREEZING! The fact that I had left my jacket in the car and didn't become an icicle myself, is surely a wonder.
The gates opened and it was time to mingle and head to our seats on time. Saturday evening featured some popular KCFW veterans, so it was exciting to wait and watch, what they brought forth this season.
The evening began with crowd favorite Nataliya Mayer's Lucia's Sarto. Her silhouettes are always so romantic and so feminine. The floral brushstrokes on the runway were a breath of fresh air. From greys and blush to greys and crimson, with just a touch of new age bridal gowns, what a start to finale night!
Being a Mom, I always look forward to a designer who specializes in kidswear. Tulle needn't just be in my tiny dancer's Tutu or in my wedding dress. Designer Megan Wheelock's line Ethel and Dean juxtaposed tulle with edgy accents to set the mood for Fall.
Next up was designer Jill Patton's My Heirloom Bridal Design. Loved the play of ebony and ivory throughout her collection. Victorian style met boss babe on the runway. Loved her black jumpsuit and can see myself wearing that for the New Year eve celebrations in town. I could go and on about every outfit in the collection, and how perfect it was. Clearly one of my favorites for the evening.
The favorite of the evening, and also an all-time favorite of mine - TR Brown. This lady outdoes herself every season that she presents. Who can forget her Chelsea Girls collection from last year? She carried forward the retro vibe but added in a heavy dose of spunk in her new collection, called GRL PWR. Girl Power it was on the runway, with her choice of colors and her attention to detail. Take a bow, Tiffany!
Oak Park Mall sent some of their current Spring-Summer favorites on the runway, which was a change from the Fall Winter collections, which usually roll out at this time of the year, at any Fashion Week.
Can you please tell WHY are FANNY PACKS back again ?(insert sad-faced emoji)
Sara Kahrs debuted her menswear line, along with her womenswear, on the KCWF runway. It was the perfect balance of sophisticated and edgy with her mix of textures. Loved the rust and the touch of dark teal, paired with wool and ombre. Kara Colosseum rocked this rust trench which also opened to become a cropped jacket!
The final designer of the evening was Georgina Herrera with her jewelry line MCK Brands. She surely gives the phrase "Statement Jewelry," a new meaning. While every necklace and earring was stunning, what took the cake, was your jewelry as an outfit. How about a golden bustier and a silver metal dress to close KCFW for this season!
