Designer Joanna Mastroianni’s Spring 2014 Collection is pure glamour featuring gorgeous colors, cuts, and styling from the American designer. Luxury Experience brings you a few of the many highlights of the collection as seen during Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week at Lincoln Center in New York.
Of the collection, Joanna Mastroianni writes, "The organic brilliant architecture of Gaudi is my vision for Spring 2014. My admiration for his innovative use of materials and engineering inspired me to create a flirty, seductive and playful collection. It was a labor of love to translate his great works of architecture into something feminine, contemporary and most importantly wearable."
Designer – Joanna Mastroianni
Joanna succeeds quite eloquently capturing an architectural and structural feel for the 37-looks of the collection inspired by the Spanish architect Antoni Gaudi (1852-1926), figurehead of Catalan Modernism.
Her color palette features black and white interspersed with color, utilizing peridot, tangerine, yellow, sunshine, Mediterranean blue, white gold, Aegean blue, and aqua. Fabrics are sensuous incorporating silk, sateen, silk taffeta, Chantilly lace, silk charmeuse, tulle, and leather.
She adds hand-embroidery, hand-shirring, and hand-beading to accent, and adds a bit of dramatic glamour with white ostrich feathers seen throughout the collection including in a White hand-embroidered cage and feathered cape with apple blossom print skinny pant; Hand-beaded and white ostrich feathered mini-dress with apple blossom print, and silk/sateen jacket; and a White ostrich hand-embroidered column gown with cherry blossom print long cap sleeved satin evening coat.
