Designers Michelle Ochs and Carly Cushnie definitely know how to bring sexy back. From looking at my curves body con dresses to sleek and sophisticated looks, Cushnie’s fall collection was excellent. The designs were modern but had a 90’s vibe. Slightly reminiscent of when Tom Ford was at Gucci. I loved the draped off-the-shoulder dresses, fitted knits, and structured leather jackets, as well as the patent leather skater skirts. The harness necklines on dresses and tops were very bad-girl-esque. Texture played a significant role in the collection with richly teal-colored velvet dresses accented with high splits and super deep v’s. There was a lot of exposed skin with their very low-cut dresses. Even model Karolina Kurkova rocked a strapless lace cutout top and matching skirt.
