"Jean Harlow meets Tina Turner in Mad Max." It's funny how the previous night I made a comment to another fashion week attendee how I wished someone would bring back the hard edge fashion in Mad Max specially the low cut chain mail dress Tina Turner wore during the thunderdome fight scene, and behold early the next day the fashion gods have heard my comment and brings Norisol Ferrari.
The idea of bringing seductive glamour and marrying it with a hard edge produces such a spectacular 'coat of armor' as Norisol's design exemplifies. In this case several marriages work perfectly together, Vintage+Modern and Glamour+Edgy. One particular piece that caught my eye instantly was "La Donna" the floor length chocolate cashmere coat with the fox collar trim. Its silhouette is sleek and modern, but with vintage details of the fur collar and the bell sleeves. Even next to a hard edge design with a stunning head piece, the La Donna's regal simplicity still stood out to me because it just had a feel of luxury and timeless quality.
Another standout piece was the "Lana" a python and lace strapless gown in nude with a
complementing high collar bolero jacket. Though another nude seems monotone it is the intricate lace details in the dress coupled with a python detail that makes this dress red carpet worthy.
Overall, I understood the story Norisol Ferrari was trying to tell, and I felt the collection kept a nice balance of strong and delicate and vintage and modern.
