Jenny Packham showed mastery at creating dresses, gowns and formal wear. Packham displayed her collection bright and early Monday morning to a full audience. Packham has shown in London in the past and is no stranger to New York and decided to put a strong collection dresses, shorts and… more dresses. Strong pieces included the heavily beaded silk french chiffon top, with the heavy silk crepe high waisted pants/ The De Gournay handpainted silk crepe de chine short dress was seductive and subtle. Packham’s collection didn’t wow, startle or jostle but it didn’t underwhelm either. It showed her stregnths as a designer and her ability to use detail and color to great effect. It’s not entirely crazy to say that someone will be walking the red carpet in a Jenny Packham piece.
