Bianca Spender Resort 2019 – Review

INSPIRED BY: Titled, Unbiased, designer Bianca Spender paid homage to the 90’s female power trooper with a recurring request in to her assistant to exchange her conservative boardroom blazer for a slinky strappy number and matching heels come evening Tinder-time.
POP-CULTURE NOD: Think psychiatrist and loyal Axe Capital devotee Wendy Rhoades utilizing her razor-sharp intellect and keen understanding of human nature to flirt up a storm with a rogue trader ahead of bonus time, after refusing to sacrifice her lucrative career for her husband’s crusade in Billions.
WEAR IT TO: Your gig as Cate Blanchett’s personal assistant ahead of the New York premiere of Ocean’s 8 at Lincoln Center’s Alice Tully Hall, before donning a white dinner jacket and making like Molly Bloom and hitting the craps tables at a casino speakeasy downtown.
FIRST READ: Versatile separates and the label’s signature bias-cut cocktail dresses rounded out the corporate-meets-happy-hour lineup, with several looks sure to be favored among The Row devotees and fans of high-street darling Cos alike, while the collection’s muted, earthy palette added a touch of sophisticated class and glamor to the mix. Picture Amal Clooney’s summer Lake Como wardrobe while on a summer break from her duties at the U.N.
BEST LOOK: A one-shoulder moss green silk dress with white piping at the neckline, folded at the torso and featuring an asymmetrical-cut front.
EYE-CATCHING ACCENTS: Structured shirt dresses were given a vampy update via thigh-high splits in ice-cream hues, while boyfriend-style blazers with billowy sleeves and a spate of one-shouldered looks gave nod to the trailblazer intent on taking down her heavy-hitting male counterparts on Wall Street. Rounding out the mix, however, were a string of party frocks for the annual spring fling in the Hamptons.
OVERHEARD COURTSIDE: “The popping coral midi-wrap dress is totally going to be a replacement to my wardrobe of old Diane von Furstenberg floral number for the first party of the season.”
COLOR WHEEL: Petrol, rust, tangerine, taupe, seafoam green, cement, soft yellow, black, navy.
