BACK TO "BLACK" BY VERA WANG

If you are a fashion fan and love everything about the fashion the name Vera Wang is not an unknown fact. The brides wear and the wedding gowns which she has made for the Hollywood A-List celebrities have catapulted Vera Wang in the fashion Olymp and her aesthetic and very romantic but so refined approach to the always slippy and tricky area of wedding outfits has become the trademark and the epitome for this kind of dresses. But Vera Wang design is so much more and her sense of fashion and style are so much wider and complex that it is really breathtaking and every admiration-worthy.

The fashion concept in the Haute Couture and Ready To Wear collections is darker and on the total opposite side of cheerful brides wear area. It is much deeper, melancholic, almost on the extravagant side. These dark vibes were on the scene at her latest Autumn/Winter 2017 collection. Even there the melancholic touches were strong. The same spirit was kept in her latest Spring/Summer 2018 Ready-To-Wear Collection. With plenty of blacks, greys and only a few ensembles in white she has stayed loyal to her aesthetic that she likes and lean towards.

And here, the collection was presented in the form of simple featured editorial. The bare walls of the abandoned old factory were the perfect antipode for the modern and "Weltschmerz"-y aesthetic which was so on point but in the cool and fresh way. The freshness was in the cuts which were pretentiously archaic. The sleek silhouette was boosted by the contemporary chiffons alike headpieces. This detail has brought the modern touch to this very monochrome collection.

The cuts were in the classic romantic range with cool alternative features like the embellished dresses which were upgraded with the seethrough sequences. The oversized long sleeves have accentuated the experimental and "savage" spirit of this whole collection. The power is in the details, that is why these few design solutions have brought the cool and modern vibe to the whole this fashion story.

The dresses were the main item. If anyone knows how to make them more appealing, with the attitude and new feminine power then that is Vera Wang. The ruffles, the sheer textures, the sleek silhouette. All of that was screaming the new VW aesthetic which is so alternative, experimental and contemporary. Seems like these collections are the perfect for her inner design spirit to be unleashed and to test the design boundaries not just for Vera Wang herself but for her audience, fans, and consumers. So far we love it and can not wait for more!

What do you think about this collection? How do you like the silhouette and cuts? Do you like this melancholic touch to it?

Thank you for the attention!
