Carmen Marc Valvo
September 12th, 2008
This whole collection was based on the square and rectangle with a modern graphic approach to dresses, skirts and swimwear. High shine and silver metallic were the focal point with very little color except grass, canary or chocolate. Carmen had decided that the woman wearing his collection likes to be sexy. The cocktail dress was concocted in many woven versions but each one had a twist based on the fabric in patent leather, silk ribbon, or pearl organza ribbon. The over sized basket weave was exceptional and based on the geometric shape Valvo played with this season.
