Fave Looks: Chris Benz Fall 12

8.14.2012

Getting in the mood for fall, especially in a festive way when it comes to this collection by Chris Benz. With glittery pieces and oversized bows in the mix. Proper lady meets nightclub extraordinaire. The collection as a whole glamorized a time-period where it was all about the art of dressing up.  I couldn’t help but be smitten with all the reds, yellows, and oranges mixed with creams and beiges. Adding a contemporary twist to tea length dresses to make them feel new again.  A great deal of mixing of textures, where exquisite fabrics such as leathers, tweets met the ultimate fancy of tulle and sequins.  The outfits were styled in somewhat of a disorderly way, as if the lady herself spent hours and hours planning her outfit. But then all of a sudden she looked at the clock and it was time to go! And nothing but to throw on her clothes and run out to her fancy dinner date. And yet still look extremely splendid indeed.   What I love about this collection is how Benz took these elegant ladies and added some whit and quirky amusement.
