Ann Marie on, babushkas and Vera Wang…

vera wang fw07 rtw

I have to admit that I used to really not like Vera Wang. It was mostly because of her bridal collection, over priced and over loved by the bridezillas I encountered when I was planning my wedding a few years ago. I just didn’t like the people who were buying Vera Wang gowns– they were too snooty, too frivolous, too b****y.

My opinion of Vera Wang wedding dress buyers has not changed, by my opinion of Vera Wang has. I really respond to her non-bridal pieces and those found in her fall collection are no exception.

This show may have been my favorite of all the ones I attended. It was dark and serious, complete with music ranging from brooding Russian classical to Eleanor Rigby. There was definitely a Russian thing going on. Sounds gimmicky, I know, but it really worked. There were military elements and lots of old world layering.

Some of the models even work hand chunky Babushkas.

I actually think this is one time where the runway shots make the clothes look worse. The photos can’t capture the movement these dresses had.

I also can’t seem to find a photo that captures how well she gathered fabric to create new skirt shapes and dress details.

Ultimately, a lot of the detail in this collection is too much for me, too much sparkle, too much lace. You could see that if you take a look at the rest of the collection. Still many of the looks, like the ones I featured here, seemed right on point to me. Maybe I was responding to the theater or the preciseness of the show, but I don’t think so. It was perhaps more about the preciseness of the clothes that has won me over.

    Ann Marie, I love love love these babushkas they look so warm and snuggly to me while we are enduring this cold cold weather. And like you mentioned I too never really looked much at Vera Wang because all I thought she did was bridal, but I was totally wrong…her RTW collections are so relevant to today’s woman.

    xoxo
