Fashion Week spring 2012: BCBGMAXAZRIA
By Samantha Critchell/AP Fashion Writer
NEW YORK – With all the news buzzing at the Lincoln Center tents – John Galliano’s guilty verdict and President Obama’s speech on the economy – Max and Lubov Azria took a soothing approach to lift the mood, at least for a moment.
Dresses continue as their strong suit: A-line sundresses with fanlike pleats, barely there slip dresses and flowing scarf styles. While delicacy and modesty prevailed, there were hints of bolder sexiness with a bra-top style here and a low, open back there.
Most of the looks were rooted in chalk gray, light stone or blush pink but pops of yellow, blue, coral and emerald green were used effectively.
The goal, the Azrias explained in their notes, was a mashup of neutrals with tribal-inspired prints and embroideries “reflecting an urban, global spirit.”
