With rich floral jacquards and accessories like obi sashes, the new was infused with classic Posen trademarks: peplum-waisted tops, menswear tailoring, a slimmer-than-thou waist and signature mermaid gowns. The Far Eastern influence was on display by way of the gorgeous dresses and gowns punctuated with Asian-inspired details.
Posen has never disappointed with his dresses; for autumn winter 12, when he didnt lean toward the conservative, they included a fine selection, many of which boasted kimono sleeves and matching theatrical opera coats. This collection had plenty of pomp and circumstance; its nice to see a young ingénue make a successful progressive return to the main stage.
