Alexandre Herchcovitch



Who says that the Spring shows have a monopoly on color?

Alexandre, the Brazilian designer, lit up the runway from start to finish. It was the 1980s meet the 1920s ;complete with feathers and fur and rich jewel tones. Not only were the clothes vibrant...the accessories had a life of their own with beads and sequins and sparkle. The models wore gloves and feather handbands and carried cute clutches.

While he was clearly moved by color in this collection, in the middle of the presentation, there was all black story and the fashionistas took notice.

Overall his workmanship was impeccable with pieced jackets and ruffled insets. There was so much detail in every piece that a show repeat would have been welcome.
