A visit to the recent Diaghilev exhibition at London's Victoria & Albert Museum provided the starting point for Anna Sui's autumn/winter 2011 collection shown at New York Fashion Week Wednesday night.
She based her colour palette on a mix of the vivid shades predominating in costumes for ballets such as 'Scheherazade', 'Petrushka' and 'Firebird', and contrasted these with the more graphic combination of black and white. Folkloric florals were mixed with woodblock-style geometrics and Art Nouveau-style butterfly patterns.
One particularly striking print featured a whimsical pattern of deer in a forest, perhaps recalling 'L'Apres-Midi d'un Faune'. The prints were featured not just on the clothes but on matching tights, hats and bags. Striking metallic brocades and lamé, injected a theatrical note.
The models appeared in balletic groups, three at a time, in stylised monotone mixes with black lace-textured tights or in a more fairytale mode, in a patchwork of cream and white beaded lace and chiffon. (por Hilary Alexander)
