NYFW: Marissa Webb Displays Ready To Wear Excellence At SS15 Show (REVIEW)
In fashion for over 15 years, designer Marissa Webb cued inspiration from her own style journal by translating her city gal chic look to the runway to create a collection that’s the literal definition of ready-to-wear. And considering Webb’s current gig as Banana Republic’s creative director, her wearable design aesthetic should come as no surprise.
Presenting garments that embodied femininity with a hint of masculine touch, the designs spied on the runway delivered new meaning to the classics and displayed all-purpose garments that could be duplicated by choosing pieces from your favorite fashion chain stores.
Models sported feathered fishtail braids, while presenting Webb’s mix of flowy-feminine mini dresses topped with transparent fabric cargo vests, oversized dark-hued jackets, chill shirt-dresses, and a multiple revamps of the classic trench.
Trends Spotted: Manhattanite street chic. Metallic tweeds, moto jackets, asymmetrical silhouettes, cut-out gold toed booties, denim on denim, knotted waist belts, and over-sized errthang.
Faces in The Front Row: Estelle (Singer), Elle Varner (Singer), Coco Rocha (Model), and Louise Roe (Style Personality).
My Rating: Everything about Webb’s presentation piqued my fashion senses – from the hair and makeup, and effortless styling, to the high-quality tailored pieces.
My Favorite Look: The olive side-belted asymmetrical trench dress atop a collared white shirt dress. Two pieces which could be worn as separates perfectly in union as one simple ensemble.
