The Araks Fall collection was a smart, sensible, New England-like collection. Every piece seemed wearable and open for different shapes, heights and body types (within reason). It was so sensible that one could look down the runway and almost know what to expect next. That is, until a sheer see-through piece came out with match bra and underwear adorned by a quasi suit-jacket. From that point on, it seemed as if the designer jolted the crowd with just enough energy to keep it going…and going it did. This was a safe collection featuring a smattering of plaid, a layered blouse and a highlight velvety taupe dress.
