a la disposition :: Spring Summer 2006

Straying from the norms of fashion week, a la disposition presented a collection intertwining corsetry and cuts from the Victorian age, a time when the hourglass was the ideal silhouette. This was quite apparent in the Spring collection which was filled with gingham corsets and high waisted skirts, all emulated to emphasize the waist. Yet, the collection was never overtly too feminine, the clothes retained their strength through the tailored understructures given through fabrications of taffetta and silk. The last look remains to be one of the most memorable of fashion week, a gothic Victorian figure sadly treading along under her black umbrella. [Rania Abu Eid]
