Yellow ailk crep cocktail dress with triple drape front detail |
A presentation for Angel Sanchez is always a lesson in how to "keep shapes clean and the drama where drama is right-good for real women..."
For Spring 2012 Sanchez stays true to his signature sculptural and feminine silhouettes---demonstrating a master's hand with luxury fabrics-silk crepe, silk tulle----chiffon-draping, pleats perfectly placed, and hand sewn details----that cause the Red Carpet types wearing his designs-to perpetually place on any best dressed list.
flattering boat neck-orchid silk crepe |
magenta trikado cocktail dress |
Some of the dresses-the cocktail and formal evening wear---have added structures- but all have an unfussy certain softness and elegance---with fitted sleek lines intermixed with eye-catching use of volume----i.e. the ruffles down the back or over one shoulder of a glam gown-
ruffle detail on one shoulder through back |
hand painted -pink touches of gold-white silk gauze wedding dress or evening gown |
cascading detail on back candy pink crepe gown |
strapless yellow silk gauze gown with asymmetrical pleating on bodice |
light fuschia v-neck silk chiffon gown |
lilac silk crepe key hole neckline gown with chiffon thin cape on open nack amd yellow embroidery detail on bodice and shoulder |
hand beaded -took two weeks! |
asymmetrical mermaid gown with pleat detail on bodice |
The color palette-ranged from orchid, magenta, turquoise, candy pink-to a versatile light fuchsia and lilac-to a sunny yellow. Very very pretty----enough to invent some occasion to wear to...just to justify getting a dress.
