Susan Woo recently showed her third collection at New York’s Bryant Park Hotel.
Woo’s background includes working with Derek Lam, Chanel and Louis Vuitton.
The designer is steadily becoming known for her chic eco-friendly and environmental sustainable designs. I recall drooling over a blouse from her first collection.
For her third collection there was a distinct geometry in the lines of the designs. Woo’s presentation was a line-up of gowns, belted knee length dresses, collarless jackets & coats, tapered silk pants, sheer black blouses and high waist miniskirts.
The clean graphic feel of her autumn (fall)/winter 2010-2011 line is refreshing as it is un-fussed and sophisticated.
Woo’s colour palette was white, scarlet red, green, navy blue, blacks and brown.
The eco- friendly designer used organic cotton jersey, alpaca wool for a fur like textured effect and silk crepe.
Streamlined gowns in monochrome colour with cut outs and contrasting coloured piping were the highlights of this 18 look collection.
The collection is promising, I think the overall styling of presentation (hair, makeup and garments) could have been stronger thus giving the modern meets effortless sexy line-up an even more svelte and refined finish.
Never the less, with chic eco brands like this, looking good never felt so ethically good too.
