LET’S GET THIS PARTY STARTED!
IODICE ‘s BRAZILIAN Creations
It may have been a knitwear company back in the 1980’s, but Valdemar Iódice and his eponymous fashion company has turned the now New York based collection into a sophisticated line for modern feminine ladies with “beautiful bodies” who like to dress up for a night of clubbing.
We knew we were in for something special when an exuberant well-dressed crowd, chattering away in Portuguese, packed the Bryant Park Tents on Monday, February 4th…though most Americans we spoke with hadn’t a clue as to who or what Iódice is.
We loved the black patent leather trench and motorcycle jacket, silky and slinky draped black and swirling Op-Art floral black/white and red/white print mini dresses…and deep blue sleeveless bias cut sleeveless sheaths-which frankly, were reminders that the southern hemisphere (and global warming stricken northern climes) experience summery temperatures when these clothes are set for delivery.
The runway notes titled the collection “Graffiti-Street Art” and added “…the glamorous and sexy silhouettes are reminiscent of the classic bombshell-look in each garment.” We thought the looks had a bit of 80's Madonna going on...
Party on!
