MB Fashion Week: Day 1: Kevan Hall- Front Row

Kevan Hall's show was the perfect start to MB Fashion Week for me. His portrayal of timeless Hollywood glamour mixed with modern color palettes was flawless and fresh. The show, titled "Stage Door" depicted the modern women in classic silhouettes, with the first few models in tailored suits and dresses in black and white and later working into alluring fluid gowns in a technicolor palette for the rest of the show. Hall began with Parisian-esque classic styles, both polished and elegant, the je ne sais quoi that we love from an Audrey Hepburn time period. I was surprised to learn that the flowing gowns are more Kevan's style because the tailoring of the more structured pieces was just beautiful. Even a black dress is uniquely constructed to make it a work of art. The mix of an azure blue with sage gave an airy feeling to one of the gowns especially when used on a floor length flowing material adorned with jewels, presenting a glamourous look that is not over the top. Another one strap dress resembled rays of light shining down across the runway, so yummy with the use of a buttery, golden yellow that we haven't seen in a silk yet. One of my favorites of the collection- a knee length dress with interwoven pleats on the top and a pleat along the bottom, in a light blue iridescent color that catches the light perfectly. I hadn't seen anything like it, and yet it still embodied a classic look that is age appropriate for Hall's clients. My least favorite- although difficult to choose in such a magnificent showing- is a navy blue gown with multi-colored crystals along the front and back of the gown- this was the only piece that seemed dated- possibly because of the use of navy- plus the crystals do not seem to work with the silky material of the gown. All in all, an amazing showing.
Bag Bonus- Kevan Hall gave out amazing totes in a very tribal print, complete with smashbox blush, lip liner, water and hair products to the elite of the audience, and I received one too! :)
