Rubin Singer was ok. The fact is after seeing so many shows today, I’d almost forgotten about the collection, the show and the designer entirely. This means something. It’s not so much the collection was horrible, I just expected a wee bit more. Strong pieces included an above the knee, silk-chiffon halter cocktail dress with stripped detailing. It was cute and flirty but maintained a timeless sophistication. Ahhhh now it’s coming, the memory is kicking in slightly. Stripes. There were a great deal of them. In the lining of dresses…across the bias of dresses etc. Singer also had a pension for polka dots, high-necks and belted waist. The color palette was fairly neutral with splashes of ocean blues, and coral reds. And this is a literal “splash” as silk-chiffon dresses with prints inspired by paint drippings made there way into the collection. Overall the collection was good. Not bad. Just good.
