at Mercedes Benz Fashion Week

For his Fall 2013 Collection, Zang Toi took his fashion devotes to a gentler time in Imperial Russia, when the age of elegance was the order of the day. This move was quite in step with a designer who is well known for his theatrics on the runway. Ans so his fall collection delivered without fail.

The Mercedes Benz Fashion Week is officially over as of yesterday afternoon. And as I reflect on the various shows that I attended, I can easily say that the results were more than satisfying. The fur trend was surprisingly present, virtually at every show. It was even spotted at the main lobby and various VIP lounges at the venue. I say surprisingly present, because we’re all aware of the negative stigma it often brings. In a time of economic recovery, it seems that the designers’ minds were squarely on comfort, the fondness and appeal of historical references, social awareness and the cultural differences which effect us all. “The look” from Carolina Herrera, Tracy Reese, Zang Toi, Veneziana, Concept Korea, Vantam Tokyo was elegant, bold, at times supple, and certainly inviting.
