BCBG had a rather powerful collection. It was pretty and flirty, yet it managed to dress a more sophisticated and “all grown-up” woman. The palette was a mixture of grays and deep blues (something we’ve been seeing a lot of this season.) The palette is much more toned down for the label (What! No canary yellow? No grass green?). But the pieces were very strong.
Rompers and jumpsuits were staples peppered amongst the dominating dresses. Slouchy jerseys and silks were the fabrics of choice. Standout pieces included a turquoise cowl-necked dress with a belted waist and front pockets. Many of the dresses had pockets which clearly defines the beautiful yet functional vibe the husband and wife team were going for. Not to mention the feminine qualities were much more toned down, without being too androgynous. Overall this was a solid collection.
