The Show: Zang Toi
The Theme: Inspired by romance in the French Riviera, the Zang Toi show felt like a haute couture daydream complete with a dew-like misty air and whimsical French music.
The Color Palette: Ice pink, ice yellow, ice lilac, ivory, black
Best/Collection’s Signature Standout Look: The standouts in the collection included evocative menswear inspired looks and fanciful fairy princess gowns. The looks epitomized a strong, sexy female who nurtures her soft and demure side. Romanticism was at the crux of the assemblage. Expertly tailored blazers and trousers, pleats, ruffles, oversized sleeves and jewel-encrusted accents were abound in the French fantasy.
A black floor-length tailcoat with intricate hand beaded wildflower lining was paired with a silk tuxedo shirt, white bowtie, exposed garters and black silk high-waisted shorts. An ice lilac hand loomed rayon gown was both adorned with a “French Riviera” crystal necklace and unadorned with a sexy back.
