Even though Alexandre Herchcovitch’s Fall 2013 collection read more Spring than Winter/Fall, his collection was one of the standouts during New York Fashion Week.
Held in Milk Studios, the ceremony began with three red silk pieces. The first was a simple dress and easy to digest, similar to that of a lovable bridesmaid gown. The second was a blood orange tank and pant combo, which while slightly exposing the midriff, maintained a casual yet classic appeal. The third was a dress of a deep red and it set off the tone for the rest of the collection. The construction was asymmetrical to one side, while paying acute attention to detail.
The rest of the collection, made almost entirely of silk and satin, was playful and feminine. It paid attention to line and to detail, and used ruffles to add volume to the dresses.
There were two distinct favorites of the show. One of which cut the bodice in half, using one side to expose a bra-like form, the other half remaining with a more traditional sleeve. It had black stripes and came down to the knee. The second was a more experimental piece, made of white satin. It had a voluptuous high waisted skirt; its own ruffles were used to create the female’s body half into a pear shape. It was paired with top of the same fabric in color that exposed the upper midriff.
Overall the collection was received well despite having few coats and additional outwear.
