Kevan Hall Fall/Winter 2005
| Fashion Show Review |
Kevan Hall March 2005 |
In
keeping with designer Kevan Hall’s sophisticated signature, his Fall/Winter
2005 runway program literally shone with gorgeous sparkly gowns, fit for any
red carpet event. Calling on opera
diva MARIA CALLAS as his muse, he vocalized her dramatic personality in
shades of verdi, teal, chocolate, topaz, rouge and amethyst and remastered
her elegant stage presence in a bold palette of oversized houndstooth
checks, diaphanous chiffon gowns and luxurious detailing.
Trademark silhouettes for this designer are always cut close to the body, in sweeping silk peau de soie, silk satin crepe, wool jersey and touches of frothy tulle to underscore a subtle train. Restrained gestures like geometric beading, topaz spaghetti straps and diamond-faceted bodice details spell “diva” on any stage. Meanwhile bold proclamations like fox cuffs, mink trimmed ballgowns and raccoon boleros from the Michael Pappas Couture collection could crescendo an entire bank of paparazzi into a photo-snapping frenzy.
Amid all this high-decible luxury, however, Kevan
always manages to look fresh and young – an essential ingredient for
survival in LA’s high stakes fashion game.
