FIRST READ: While designer Christian Cowan delivered a series of toned-down looks for the former candy raver looking to hang up their glow sticks (think a black silk shift with billowy sleeves and a pastel tie-dye mini dress teamed with matching tights) the lineup was still filled with enough showstoppers to please his most extroverted clientele. From his signature sequin-dipped hoodies, to bodycon dresses in racing print with oversized bows, to the statement closing look – a fuchsia frock with feathered sleeves – Cowan continues to lead the way in making late-night getups fit for daylight activities.
BEST LOOK: A plunging cream lace blouse with trailing sleeve detail, worn with metallic pink high-waisted shorts and strappy black platforms.
EYE-CATCHING ACCENTS: An abundance of Cowan’s trademark neon, feather, and sequin detail, racy figure-hugging cocktail frocks with strategic cutouts, red carpet gowns with flowing trains, and tassel fringing hanging from a corporate double-breasted black blazer.
