BCBG Max Azria Spring Summer 2011

This fashion show reminded me of 60s golden years. Romantic, youthful simplicity with feminine dresses. Women drinking their cocktails in their yaghts with heading to the Greek Islands.

Let’s trace back to BCBG’s latest collection :

“Sometimes you don’t always need a new proposition and there’s nothing wrong with knowing what works and sticking to it and Max & Lubov Azria used this to their full advantage.”
‘’BCBG has come a long, long way since it’s humble inception in the early 90’s and I fondly remember back in the day, about 7th grade to be exact, that when it first hit the states it was the label to get your hands on, especially since it was so elusive at the time.’’

‘’But this season found the Azrias in practical mode. Backstage, Mrs. Azria explained that the Fall collection was her answer to the recession. "It's made us realists," she said. "It's not about our fantasy. It's about the customer.’’
‘’All in all, a smart play for the bottom line. The Azrias did allow themselves to dream a little, though, with occasional lashings of sequins and pieced-in panels of sheer pleats. After all, all practicality and no panache would make fashion a dull industry.’’

‘’With an edgier collection than in seasons past, designer Max Azria offered cool floaty asymmetrical dresses and tunics layered over filmy black cashmere crewnecks. Excellent tailoring, fabulous fabric and deft construction produced a gorgeous, trim silhouette. Geometric wrap dresses were a particular standout that had an every-woman appeal. Nighttime glamour came through in a subtle sequin halter dress and a gunmetal sequin dress lined with tulle.’’

‘’Fantasies inspire customers to dream and elicit tangible excitement for the brand. Sure in department stores, you tone it down so you can sell, but a runway show should be at least a little fun.  Perhaps the Azria’s played it a bit too safe this time around.’’

So after this dark, rocky collection, the romantic spirit is coming this season.

Let’s see this collection now  :

Arizona opening the show. White, long dress witha  V and asymmetric endings. Gorgeous!
Like the one before but much sorter. I love this one, more.
I think this one makes her shoulders look more broader. I still love it.
More romantic !
Yay strapless!
Vintage styled lace-ruffle!
I love the sleeves.
This is definitely my favourite one. The one shoulder cout and the fierce fabric is unbelievable!
This would look great on women with bigger hips.
The synthesis of the fabrics just makes me feel romantic.
Nude short dress with cuts. It is really cool.
This one is definitely so AWESOME. You may say I am weird, but it is a piece which can be styled in many different ways. With belt, with wedges, with sandals with hats, with bags with blazers. It is a single piece that makes a woman look very fashionable and stylish.
  The same I told with the above, with the only difference that
Are those inside the dress shorts? If yes, the only thing I can say is that Max really impressed me this season.
Again shorts? Wow!
Love the sleeves part.
First piece I don;t like that much.
This pattern was not in last summer but if this summer is going to. Love the dress.
I must say I love more this one rather the one before. The ending is more adventurous and the upper under the bust part is definitely making her bust looks bigger. More than that, the really thin shoulder strap is adding a really girly touch to the dress.
This would be perfect for the women who would like to hide some extra pounds.
This is another part that could be styled in 1000+1 ways and it would steal the attention. It is just so madame-stylish.
The back part is driving me crazy!
This one really makes her look like she was born with no waist.
This one is very beautiful but if you choose it you should be very subtle with all the other look!
Reminds me of 60s golden years!
The thin shoulder straps are amazing!
These two colors go great together. Coral with grey! Such a daring combination!
The sleeves are incredible!
Wait for a couple of minutes! I have to catch my jaw which was dropped on the floor!
Colour Colour Colour!
The ending is really flattering!
First black dress of the show! Nice!
This one, this one. I don’t like it. I am sorry!
Okay, we get it. You are a taleted designer!
Not impressed, For a weird reason, I don’t like black color.
This pattern is very beautiful!
Arizona closing the show with this AWESOME DRESS!

OVERALL

There were only dresses,I love dresses so I was not disappointed with this decision! Flirty layers, warm and natural colors V shaped dresses which help a woman’s figure look slimmer! Natural makeup and ponytails, which are amazing for spring and summer! The airy fabrics are the ones with whom I am in love with! Sexy yet youthful looks! There were not many embelishments, the dresses were romantic and simple. Simplicity is key!
Another happy announcement, the models did not look anorexic! I was so happy realising that. We are still in the start of the fashion week so I hope that it is not only Azria the one who did not want skinny models. Let’s hope it is a new trend!
I can’t wait for the next show at FAshion Week.
p.s : I woke up on 4:30 to do this review on time! Because the time difference is making our lives so harder!
