Flouncy dresses steal the show
DESIGNER Paul Costelloe kicked off London Fashion Week yesterday by breaking with his old-school traditions, offering a brash, eye-catching show filled with short, flouncy dresses in soft colors.
Abstract checks and some diamond-shaped art deco styles completed the look.
Costelloe was the first to offer his vision for the spring and summer 2011 collections as fashionistas descended on Somerset House next to River Thames for London's five-day, champagne-fueled extravaganza.
Costelloe usually opens fashion week with a somewhat sedate show emphasizing cut and quality, but he kicked it up yesterday with a display described as "Tinkerbell-turned-party girl."
The short dresses included metallic weaves and twills that indeed twinkled in the spotlights, many featuring high waists and subtle pleats. A handful of floor-length dresses were topped by silvery metallic-style jackets with a space age look.
His playful mood was highlighted by his own outfit -- Costelloe wore a jacket and tie with dark slacks, accented by white Converse sneakers.
His menswear was fanciful but the crowd enjoyed the six young men in well-cut suits who strutted out near the end of the show.
