Fashion Week: Chris Han

Yes folks, I know fashion week ended last Friday, and those with real stamina are now off to London Fashion week. Well, I for one, am back working on photoshoots, and way behind on my reviews.

There are still a few outstanding shows that I saw that deserve some mentioning, which I will trickle to you after my post-work pass-outs on the couch (yes the "glamorous" life of styling is also somewhat exhausting). But enough about me and my excuses, what about that Chris Han, eh?

I'm not quite sure if she is on the general publics radar yet, but she has been showing in the Bryant Park tents for a few seasons now, and at this point she should be. Each year her elegant sophistication created with luxe fabrics and a touch of individualism grows more and more refined. As ever, she was brilliant at subtley layering fabrics, which although it has been a  signature of hers for sometime, I found many designers to be doing this year.  I would say that would make Chris on the cutting edge. I just loved how she tailored a nude tone chiffon over a turquoise pencil dress, giving it a depth and interest. She also was right on trend with some intricate beading. I could have died for the black gown that came down the runway with corseted bodice completely encrusted in antique silver beading. And just as well as she did glamorous drama, she achieved her own more elegant version of the boyfriend look, with a wide leg trouser and  slightly slouchy black camisole top. Oh yeah chicas, keep your eyes out from Chris Han....
