Acler Resort 2019 – Review

INSPIRED BY: The desire to merge fashion-forward statement pieces in daring silhouettes with a wearable, daring aesthetic – think frilly party dresses in candy-colored hues, teamed with CSI-style crime scene bootie heels.
POP-CULTURE NOD: Imagine if Cocktail Dress Barbie and the Michelin Man produced an illicit love child, resembling a mix between Snow White’s Evil Queen and Cupcake Surprise Princess Doll.
WEAR IT TO: Take your premium VIP seat along the runway section following an intimate backstage tour – hosted by your personal concierge – at Jay-Z and Acler-fan Beyoncé’s OTR II tour at MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford, New Jersey.
FIRST READ: The design duo trotted out their signature drapery on statement blazers, cocktail gowns and flirty party frocks, while the collection’s sorbet-hued palette made looks just as suited to the boardroom as rooftop drinks downtown.
BEST LOOK: A neon pink off-the-shoulder top, featuring pleated detail and puff sleeves, teamed with a matching high-waisted midi skirt and white slides with bow accents. Also key was pink dress with tiered sleeve ruffles in a dotted print, featuring a defined waist line silhouette.
EYE-CATCHING ACCENTS: Equestrian-style riding blazers, flats and booties reminiscent of disposable shoe covers, balloon-style tops and skirts – part of the collection’s array of separates able to be styled as one-pieces – and padded duvet-lookalikes worn as oversized coats.
OVERHEARD COURTSIDE: “Did you know the girls used to design at C/MEO and Finders Keepers?”
COLOR WHEEL: Fuchsia, black, white, champagne, rust, powder pink, grey, navy, silver, light blue.
