One Sentence Reviews: Yigal Azrouël, Edun, Giulietta

Flirty but sophisticated girly-ness was front and center at Giulietta with pops of pink and white roses — and no, we’re not just talking about the two toddlers sitting in front of us on their fashion-edtior mothers’ laps. – Emilia Petrarca

Pajamas-as-streetwear are always welcome at our house, but Yigal Azrouël did it so exceptionally well with his specific tailoring and clean, black piping that it was only apparent the opening top and bottom combo were meant to evoke sleep clothes when, 13 looks in, stitched goose down feathers hinted at a confirmation of my earlier guess — however you wouldn’t actually want to sleep in these clothes because they are clearly meant to be lived in; the paneled paisley-lace closing dresses meant to be danced in; the striped sportswear meant to be seen in and the palm tree printed fabrics meant to be enjoyed, perhaps in the sun, with a nightcap-come-early in hand.

At Edun the models walked like backslashes with legs in dizzying loops before shooting back down the runway, creating a pedestrian roundabout that looked equally as complicated to navigate as the ones cars drive through — but since you came here for the clothes I should tell you about the elegant tunics worn over cropped trousers in an Edun-esque palette of black, white and red (with a bit of navy, royal blue and leopard spots tossed in), some of which were tied together with — you guessed it, waist belts! –the piece de resistance being a pearl silk coat with a slab of black and white stripes so thin that from the other side of the dizzying loop the blend appeared grey. And don’t be mad because I know this now makes this a two sentence view, but this is important: Rihanna was there sitting front row. – Amelia Diamond
