Sleep is less of a priority during fashion week, a fact of which Bess took full advantage last Sunday, presenting their fall 2011 collection at the debauchery-potent nightlife staple Don Hills. Embracing fashion’s long-standing affinity for androgyny, a male model sashayed through the throng of black clad guests in tight and skin-bearing pants, low-rise enough to show off a taut red thong. All male eyes were smeared with black kohl, enhancing the drama of the splatter-painted and studded leather, while pink lips were paired with gaudy rainbow-sequined sunglasses. Female eyes were girdled by lustrous primary and secondary colors, playing up their uber-tight thigh-grazing dresses.
