NY Fashion Week: Luca Luca's Space Age Appeal
Luca Luca brought a flock of industry elite and celebrity customers under the tent Monday to see its futuristic design concept for S/S ‘09. Since its inception, Luca Luca has created a wide variety of product for sophisticated clientele for whom money is no object. Its S/S collection feeds off of the brand’s chic variety but offers a more sportswear driven emphasis.
The line was stark, structured, and concentrated on a white pallet – the perfect setting for designer Melgoza’s architectural and modern inspirations. Slight vents, panels and slits gave contrast to each look on the runway but made the pieces seem less functional when compared to previous seasons. Many of the cocktail dresses offered the illusion that they were made of more than one piece, and there was not a single embellishment in sight.
Is this the beginning of a new space age era for some leading designers? And if so, will consumers buy it? I will watch to see if this trend continues as I analyze at the shows throughout the rest of New York fashion week.
