“When I examine myself and my methods of thought, I come to the conclusion that the gift of fantasy has meant more to me than any talent for abstract, positive thinking.”
-Albert Einstein
Designer Misha Vaidya lastest, spring/summer collection, Wishing Well transports one to what could be best described as a modern day Fantasia for fashionistas. A gripping aura of fantasy, romance and fairy tales swept through this open air studio atop the Ailey dance center in Midtown. The origin of this aura was carefully created in the imagination of Misha and perfectly executed through her fusion of craftsmanship, color, flow, sophistication along with a dash of playfulness. Throughout the designs Misha uses organza pearl flowers along with colors like honeysuckle, mint, and creme brulee to give her creations an organic life of their own. This superb execution of colors and materials seems to excite not only one’s sense of sight but also taste and smell.
Some of the note-worthy designs included “Daffodil”. This short sleeveless scultpled silk brocade cocktail dress is topped by a low satin grey V shaped back. The dress seems to really wrap the body well and you will have no trouble accentualing the feminine physique of any women. Want to dress it down for a night of clubbing? Just add a nice leather moto jacket and a pair of spiked leather Louboutin stilettos with clutch.
Another show favorite of mine was the three quarter mint chiffon dress with sequin detailing affectionately name Meadowsweet. For soon to be brides who are secure enough to choose great bridesmaids dresses for your bridal party, Meadowsweet will exceed all your expectations while maintaining the romance and elegance of that special day. Meadowsweet is that dress that your bridesmaids will look stunning in and will make a great addition to the the wardrobe of even the most discerning fashionista.
By far my favorite design would have to be the “ Lemon Mint” The wide legged chiffon trousers paired with the half-sleeved brocade jacket adorned with pearl flowers simply screams “HAUTE.” The flow of the trousers juxtaposed against the tailored jacket truly transports you to that forgotten meadow. And once you are there you realize that all your wishes have come true.
