There’s a reason the front row to this show was packed with the media and retail
elite…for CFDA/Vogue Fashion Fund winner, Doo Ri has a simply sublime and distinguished way with jersey wools, draping the Bordeaux, and evergreen or peacock blue fabric into sophisticated architectural folds that comprised the mostly swingy, mini dress collection. Touches of sequins and crystal overlays like athletic tank tops, added some sparkle to the empire waist cocktail numbers, paired with opera length, tight leather gloves - while the tulip shaped silhouettes gathered gently at the hem- will flatter the probably thin customer. The strongest looks however, were the front seamed, tapered pants with swingy tops, and the (former boss) Geoffrey Beene inspired wool jersey evening dresses- with Grecian-Martha Graham worthy wrapped tops and cut out backs, descending into flowing, long elegant trains.
