Runway: Short Skirts & High Hair
Party Girls In Short Skirts
Betsey Johnson — Betsey Johnson is still doing that thing she does so well: cute party dresses. Who hasn’t attended a wedding (or 10) in a Betsey Johnson dress? The highlight of her show wasn’t a dress but a polka-dot retro swimsuit. Does she do custom?
Marchesa: This is the dress for curvy petite women. I would totally wear it in a color. Black or hot pink or (oooh!) green. The bell-pouf sleeves are the dress but the simple boatneck bodice carries it off. Sadly, later in the show Marchesa seems to have taken a queue from losing Project Runway. Those rosettes look heavy. That same length worked so well for the sleeved dress but it’s too short for strapless cake icing.
The higher the hair, the closer to God.
You know who can pull off high hair? Yours truly, and I am more than happy to pull out my blond bobby pins. The updo on the right shouldn’t take too much hairspray.
