NEW YORK (AP) — Badgley Mischka, long associated with the socialite party-gown set, has made a clean break. Thank goodness.
The highly embellished, glitzy gowns that made them famous wouldn’t seem right for the times, even if we may or may not be out of the recession. So the design duo of Mark Badgley and James Mischka have found themselves a new niche, showing on Tuesday at New York Fashion Week some lovely, more sophisticated clothes — ranging from a black-and-white tweed sheath dress to a black shantung jumpsuit that had a gathered halter neckline as well as a gathered waist and palazzo-pant legs.
A strong day-to-night look was a lilac and gray-striped, satin and chiffon dress, and for a black-tie event, there was a white shantung tuxedo. A white capri-length jumpsuit wasn’t as tempting.
The designers tried, with mixed success, a new silhouette: gowns with sheer fabric or lace panels that ran from the knee to the floor.
A more successful trick on a different dress was using taffeta clovers to create a cascade of tiny little tabs that rippled as the model walked.
Still feel like you saw shine on the runway? That was all baubles from their own costume jewelry collection.
