Lights, Camera, Fashion Part 2

After the excitement of yesterday, I was extremely grateful for the opportunity to be able to attend two additional fashion shows today! The two shows that we attended were Gazzarrini and Enrico Coveri Spring/Summer 2012 collections.

            Gazzarrini’s collection was very contemporary, romantic, refined, and completely wearable. He used neutral colors with accent colors that were very intriguing especially the bamboo green. He incorporated a lot of cropped pants which I loved along with high-waisted pants that gave a new balance to the body proportion. I haven’t seen high-waisted pants for men in a long time and I found it very innovative and I actually really liked the styling of them.

            Enrico Coveri’s show was very different from Gazzarrini’s. It was full of bright colors, high energy music, and the models walks were more dramatic and exaggerated. His inspiration was from the seventies which was apparent in the silhouettes, prints, and colors. The different shades of pink is a must have color for Coveri and I enjoyed seeing the different hues he incorporated into his collection. As much as I was enjoying seeing menswear it was a nice change to see womenswear incorporated into his collection as well. One of the favorite parts of the show was when a man and women came down the runway together and looked like a perfect Barbie and Ken couple.

            I thoroughly enjoyed the choreography of both of the shows. The way they matched the mood of the collection with the music, the models walks, and the pace of show was imperative to the presentation of the collection. Gazzarrini’s show had slower music, the models walks were stiff and military like, and they utilized the square runaway and dual entrances very effectively. Enrico Coveri’s show had faster upbeat music, the models walks were more exaggerated and bouncy, and having the models come down two at a time in certain parts added to the gender cohesiveness of the line. The experience for me was very informational and I learned a lot about what aspects go into making a fashion show cohesive. 

Special thanks to Fashion Times for inviting us to the shows!
