Girly, Feminine, Girly, designer Mira Vukovic’s Mad Cortes collection is full of fairytale shapes, ruffles and bubble shapes. In the first section Vukovic showed several bubble shape looks in mild tones of color. Sadly a lot of the opening looks had no fluid look, it seemed as though Mira was all over the place. Showing a series of last season trends, each look more monochromatic rather than mixed together. In the second section she jumped away from mild color palette and showed a long series of all black and gray looks. One of the first standout pieces in this section was a dress that utilized the balloon shape with balloon shape skirt hem and shoulders. Mira used a treated black and grey cotton fabric that looked like leather. The look was finished with a belt and fishnet stockings. Another strong look in this section was another balloon shape crepe dress. The skirt of the dress in done in a balloon shape with black gamine draped over one shoulder and over the bodice of the dress.

One of the best trends that Mira showed on the catwalk was a fishnet stocking which she used on several looks. There were two must have looks from collection. First is the purple and burgundy print skirt with the waistline ruffled. The skirt is short and worn with wide black velvet belt and the look is top with a black long sleeve knit blouse with drape of ruffles down the front and the shoulder are rolled giving the blouse a Gucci look. I know the blouse ever very 4 seasons ago; the combination of skirt and the top and black knit stockings is sexy. The other must have look is the black silk crepe dress with hem of the skirt finished with a ruffle and a ruffle drape draped from one shoulder strap and down the front of the dress to the opposite hip of the dress. While the opening of the collection is muted and dull, the black section of the collection was the key to Vukovic’s design aesthetic. The all black looks had character and Vukovic’s experimentation is evident and a success giving us strong looks.
