The Paris label gave that wholesome Midwestern staple a decidedly unwholesome turn, sending out blinged-out overalls in sexy silver chainmail that would make Dorothy blush.
The high-wattage coveralls and second-skin catsuits were a welcome alternative to the peaked-shouldered blazers that helped make the Paris label the go-to brand for jet-set party girls looking to make a big entrance. Designer Christophe Decarnin has been churning out variations on the blockbuster look for years now, and it was refreshing to see him serve up a collection that, while not revolutionary, at least charted some new territory.
Gone were the peaked shoulders, replaced by flat square shoulders on the elongated, lapel-less jackets in metallic leather. As for the overalls, they fit so seamlessly into the label's sexy rich 'n' roll aesthetic it was hard to see why Decarnin didn't seize on them seasons ago.
Still, Thursday's fall-winter 2011-12 collection was not all change. The bling remained: The jackets glinted with ornate hand-embroidered mirrorwork stripes and Swarovski crystal patches."
