Thuy Diep also showed off her expert tailoring skills. Almost all of the dresses featured some kind of gathering or wide folding in the mid-front. This effect, usually paired with a medium-width black or brown belt, gave a romantic hourglass shape to the models. Not a small feat, considering how stick-straight most of these models are under the clothes.
In reference to the current trends of the season: Yes, there was fur. Yes, there were black cocktail dresses. And yes, there was even some fuchsia. The difference between Thuy and other designers is that while some can seem overwhelmed or consumed with incorporating trendy features such as these prominently into their lines, in this case the more fashion-forward elements are secondary to Thuy’s overall artistic vision.
