For Fall designer Doo Ri takes on the outerwear trend of the season with a focus on complimenting her short and feminine silhouette. The opening section is probably one of the most out of the Doo Ri box moments you can get! The decadent knit pieces paired with delicate embroidery or her signature draping paired with embellishment. One of the standout looks in the opening section is a cropped gray knit jacket with short sleeves and beaded stripped color collar. The jacket is worn with a short empire waist black silk organza dress with black satin bows layered on the bodice of the dress. Another strong look from the opening section is gray cashmere knit sweater trimmed with a black lace style knit on the hem. The look is finished with a black velvet bubble shape skirt and a small fur shrug jacket.

Doo Ri used the bubble hem on several pieces which is another repeat trend. For the second section she moved back to her signature draped dresses and tops. She played with tops giving them a plunging necklines and framing the bust line with heavy beading. One of the standout pieces is a burgundy silk draped top with the bust line covered with burgundy fish scales palettes. For evening Ri kept the selection very limited. She opted to only show a handful of looks the crowning looks were two of the beaded cocktail dresses. The dress is almost reminiscent of Alexander McQueen’s empire waist holster strap dresses. Ri keeps the look toned down and focuses on her modern draping as the highlight. One of the standout looks in the evening section is a burgundy silk jersey dress with a bubble hem and the waistline moved above the breast. Ri does a contrast strap of burgundy beading and crystals.

The two must have pieces from the collection are two great editorial pieces. First is a deep purple silk satin blouse with the bust line detailed with matching purple fish scale palettes. The other must have piece is the printed burgundy and teal stripe halter-top dress. The hem of the skirt is detailed with beading and a holster beaded strap worn on top of the dress. This collection is another great chapter in the Doo Ri saga. A chapter that is moving fast and moving forward. She continues to respect the style she crafted over the past couple of years while continuing to evolve it. From her new structured outerwear pieces to the emphasis of embellishment on her classic pieces. Doo Ri’s choice to slowly evolve in the industry is evident in this collection and a wise decision. Bravo Madame Ri!
