Vera Wang :: Spring Summer 2006

When you think about Vera Wang, you think, gorgeous evening gowns and wedding dresses. At the latest showing at Bryant Park last week,this still held true. However, I also saw a fresher, more fashion side to Ms. Wang's work that gave the collection a meatier ambience. The colors were deeper, the shape and silhouettes of the garments a bit more substancial. Bottle greens, black's and white's, grey were all strong color themes this season for Ms. Wang, as was the "Pilgrim" silhouette. Wide military-type ribbons reworked into beautiful sashes and belts were nice accent pieces. Overall, I enjoyed this show as I was presented with a collection that held some welcome surprises for me. Not that I didn't see classic Vera as well, but I felt this show showed a range I'd not seen in her work before. I hope that I have the opportunity to see more at next season's showing, as this one had mega-hit all over it! [Kelley Quan]
