One of my favorite eras was beautifully recalled on the London Runway when British designer Luella Bartley showcased her candy girls for all the world to see. The Sixties are alive and chic again! Puffy party dresses were featured, some sporting polka dots and sweetheart necklines while others looked like they were dipped in a sugary syrupy mix as they sashayed down the catwalk boasting effortless chic. The girls all had the adorable bow detail in a variety of colors implanted in a their hair. To offset all the prettiness was the dramatic use of bold statements with the black rose print dress and a healthy mixture of graphic and diagonal fabrics and cuts. It was purely magical fun!
It was an absolute scrumptious delight witnessing the mouthwatering confections on display presented by English designer Matthew Williamson. Every design highlighted Williamson's appetite for the perfect cocktail dress. He is the master of tailored perfection. And he also knows how to recruit the right utensils to complete his masterpiece. There was no shortage sequins and sparkles to help up the ante. It was full on decadence! He also hyped his trademark futuristic mod-look with looks that featured cutouts and ruched details. Any woman lucky enough to don a Matthew Williamson number will most likely get spotted in a crowd. And thats why this beloved designer is likely to be around for a long time to come.
