Socially Superlative
September 13, 2010
Elise Overland has emerged as one of my favorite designers. After falling in love with her winter collection last season, I eagerly anticipated her show at Exit Art this past Sunday.
Inspired by a 60s Mod look, Overland created a balance of vintage styles mixed with modern silhouettes and bold colors, all while experimenting with geometric design and proportion.
In the words of Rachel Zoe, “I die.” And speaking of Miss Zoe, her trusty Style Director Brad Goreski was in the front row along with Kelly Osbourne and Nicky Hilton. Despite my love for Brad, I was able to take my eyes off of him during the show, and that is saying a lot coming from me.
Overland’s leather mini-skirts, form-fitting pants, cropped jackets along with her inclusion of color block were used in several looks. Ankle high boots and bright neons and blues flittered in between her neutral colored garments.
Elise’s hard, leather pieces paired with softer, more feminine silhouettes allow women to look edgy and sophisticated at the same time. All women want a hint of mystery, and Overland certainly knows how to achieve this to great avail.
