Naeem Khan S/S 2017 – Top Looks
TOP INSTA LOOK: Cap-sleeve jumpsuits and racer-cut dresses with fringe detailing in sunshine yellow, powder blue and tomato red channeled the show’s 70’s vibe, while geometric print one-shoulder color-blocked gowns screamed Mad Men poolside glamour.
BEHIND THE SCENES: Influenced by the late ‘70s Halston girl, TRESemmé stylist Jeanie Syfu crafted a suite of undone natural looks with a flirty bounce, while makeup was kept barely-there to serve as a backdrop to the lineup’s focus on bold colors and intricate embroidery.
OFF PROBATION: An asymmetrical racer-cut gown in tropical floral print with an oversized bow detailing.
GOOD BEHAVIOUR BOND: An off-the-shoulder floral embroidered A-line bohemian gypsy-inspired dress, worn with strappy gladiator heels and yellow drop earrings.
INSPIRED BY: Naeem Khan’s mentor, iconic ‘70s label Halston, the designer’s latest collection attempted to extend beyond the label’s signature red carpet-ready evening frocks to daywear, evidenced via a series of floral print dresses with flirty accents.
POP CULTURE-NOD: Studio 54 during the giddy epicenter of 1970’s hedonism, rubbing shoulders with Cher, Andy, Bianca and Halston in the infamous hothouse of pretty celebrities, high glamour and fast cocaine, before being whisked away in Warhol’s private limousine to an exclusive after-party hosted by Elton John on Wooster Street.
WEAR IT TO: Your interview with Charlie Townsend at his private detective agency in downtown Los Angeles amid efforts to land the gig as sidekick to Farrah Fawcett’s niece in a remake of the cult crime drama series.
OVERHEARD COURTSIDE: “Whatever happened with the Sarah Jessica Parker and Halston relationship?”
SPOTTED: Iris Apfel, Christina Hendricks, Serena Norr, Jenny Cipoletti, Fern Mallis, Pritan Ambroase, Indira Cesarine,
COLOR WHEEL: Red, black, yellow, pink, orange, green, khaki, navy, powder blue, grey.
THE DOCKET: Naeem Khan’s latest collection played out like an ode to the decades clocked up since being brought under the wing of her key mentor, iconic fashion designer Halston. From swinging geometric gowns to embellished, floral-embroidered dresses and multicolored floral billowy frocks, the designer’s latest playlist is befitting of the disco-trotting diva with a day job on the side.
