Think On It

Fashion: Maurizio Galante

January 24th, 2008

Evening wrap

I have this wrap, from some years ago when a client bought it for a gift. Mine is softer velvet, so it is not only easier to wear, but not nearly as pretty, So, then, this is not news.

Wrap

This, however, is news and is pretty and does represent what Galante did this year.

Fabrics were manipulated, embellished, altered and exaggerated to create something we’ve not quite seen before. Like this: Pleat dress

Or this: coat

which may seem bizarre until you think of it as a topper over slim trousers and a tight turtleneck, or over a slim black columnar dress if you’ve a need for that instead. I’d wear it that way, would you?

I’d wear it that way, would you?
And…where to?

The Coop? To a party? An art opening? Anywhere I now wear my antique kimonos, except this might be hard to drive in…

I can’t even imagine the stir you would cause at the COOP. Please wait until I’m there.

Sure, but you must realize they are used to me now here. I’ve worn that pleated wrap several times before.
