Heatherette :: Spring Summer 2006

In an effort to branch out into "wearable" sometimes its hard to view the Heatherette duo Richie Rich and Travor Rains as "serious" designers. With a knack for great publicity, they presented their 1950's kitsch meets 1980's beach party collection to an audience waiting to experience the infamous Heatherette spectacle. Models paraded in metallic dresses and wildly printed skirts, as well as some grand versions of a circle skirt covered with bunched and quilted fabric. With wild accessories, some serious gold hardware and over the top hair poofs, the whole look was a bit overwhelming...but break each look down and underneath the big hats and gaudy jewelry you could find a sweet silk dress or a modest quilted cardigan with just the right amount of appliqu?ɬ©. The crowd sang along to Ace of Base and Elton John as the stars paraded down the runway, and it was clear from the jeers and hollers that everyone who was there for an entertaining show went home happy...and excited for spring!
