As a flock of crows flies across the night sky, a galaxy appears in its star-studded glory. “Who is out there watching us?,” we ask in asymmetrical cocktail dresses and beaded gowns from the Bowen Collection Spring/Summer 2012 line. Maybe we’ll never know on this earth, but at least we can ponder in style.
Color palette: Nudes, greys and blacks with splashes of silver and purple
Mood: Spacey, drone-y, musing
Statement Pieces: Crystal embellished gown with shredded chiffon, black and purple chevron beaded gown
Front Row Name Drops: Some crazy outfits, but no one famous
Gossip: One 50-something lady to another 50-something lady: “I’ve been wearing these platforms for three days straight. I’m dying!”
Runway Music: Alien drumbeats and ethereal reverberation
I stole my first pair of platforms from the Spice Bus in 1997 when Anglophilia was all the rage. Collector of vintage bags, vinyl and kitchen appliances. My dream of becoming a butcher is momentarily on hiatus so I can teach you how to wear muumuus and apply false eyelashes. Follow me on Twitter @CrystlMeatballs.
