FALL 2007: WWD
"Precisely So"
February 7th 2007 - Like several other designers this season, Bill Blass Michael Vollbracht sensed that it was time to simply things on the runway. To that end, his fall collection recalled a cleaner, unfussy time in American fashion when the big guns of design- Normen Norell, Holsen, and of coarse Blass himself- concentrated on precision cuts and bold color plays. Vollbracht’s parade of coats, day dresses and suits mixed strong hues- green over plum, blue over pink and so on- and while they were refreshing in their unfettered lines, the silhouettes could have used a little updating. But all was forgiven with that fun, old school finale, when a gaggle of models crowded the catwalk in an array of swingy, sequined and oh so chic little black dresses. |
