Reem Acra S/S 2013: Defining Sexy+Elegance

 

 

 

 

The fashion world has come to expect the exquisite and meticulous details from every Reem Acra piece, and those familiar with her bridal line know all too well how amazing and stunning each masterpiece she creates, but for several seasons after her return to center stage at New York Fashion Week and into the limelight of the “tents” Reem Acra has consistently re-defined sexy, sultry, elegant ready to wear pieces.

From one stunning piece to the next the audience is left in awe as curve extenuating dresses debut on the runway, some looking as if they were painted on the models. I am always left breathless when I see the metallic pieces, almost as if gold was melted and just poured on a model and left to cover all her curves beautifully- this is a testament of perfect design meeting skillful execution.

This season Reem Acra added a sexy twist into an already alluring dress. I’m loving this sheer peak-a-boo full length cut on the side of the dress that gives the audience a side-view treat, but leaving the rest to each one’s imagination.  There is a fine line between sexy and trashy, but Reem Acra is first and foremost defined by ELEGANCE, sexy silhouettes are just the icing on an already delicious cake!

Each season I often pray to the fashion gods that my invite from Reem Acra’s PR people come into my inbox because a runway show such as hers is not to be missed!!!!

 



 

Reem Acra F/W 2012: Feminine Power

Reem Acra’s Fall/Winter 2012 focused on “Feminine Power” the idea that all women should be confident in their own skin and whatever they wear. Reem Acra’s namesake brand certainly resonate that effortless confidence that all women possess and empowers all women to show off their personal style. Reem Acra’s F/W 2012 collection was a juxtaposition of strength and femininity, creating that modern woman who’s not afraid to show her style.

Throughout the collection metallic was an overall theme apparent in each piece that came down the runway, but done so skillfully that it never became redundant; in fact whether applied as the entire look or applied as a trim metallic enhanced the fluidity of each ensemble giving the illusion that some pieces could have been painted on just by the way it hugged the model’s figure so well.  One particular dress that illustrates the skillful construction of Reem Acra’s design was this “multi-sequin starburst V-neck gown”, reflecting an art deco design it was so effortless but such an eye-catching gown as the light hit it from different angles.  Another breath-taking gown was the “Ebony Diamond embroidered silk chiffon gown”, it was figure flattering and an undeniable show stopper; the construction was impeccable.

Reem Acra’s return to the center stage of New York Fashion Week after a short hiatus could not have been more successful with a Fall/Winter 2012 collection so stunning that all of fashion is buzzing with anticipation to see what the designer will bring for the next season. I for one am giddy with excitement to see how Reem Acra will follow up such an impressive season.
