Runway Report: Sally LaPointe | New York Spring 2015 RTW

The Sally LaPointe Spring 2015 Ready-to-Wear took very standard features for her collection and gave them a more modern touch by exaggerating their lines; the sleeves, hemlines, and necklines are flared, which give them a 3 dimensional shape. It conjured up medieval meets modern kimono. The skirts are an interesting bell-shape, which evokes a pin-up with a dramatic side ruffle, which facilitates movement. The hemlines on the tops and skirts are extended and squared, which makes them strikingly dramatic. The linear quality looks like medieval armor on the front, but done in such a feminine way that it doesn’t look too harsh. The belts, which are uniform through out the show, finish off the medieval modern look.
