RUNWAY: Cushnie et Ochs Fall 2010 Womenswear

Kirby Marzec — Fri, 12 Feb 2010 16:15:25 +0000

Fall 2010 was definitely time for Carly Cushnie and Michelle Ochs to get experimental. Cushnie et Ochs, only in its third season and notorious for simple frocks and body-con looks, leaned towards the sexier, more flattering side this season with a variety of sleek, criss-cross strap dresses and petal minis. But the experimentation went a little too far when a boxy, padded suit appeared on the runway. Luckily, such faults were overlooked by Cushnie et Ochs beautiful attention to detail. Oh, and from a makeup standpoint…red smoky eye…AMAZING.

Strutting clean-cut silhouettes on the runway, models for Cushnie Et Ochs were able to revel in beauty of the label’s spring 09 collection. Carly Cushnie and Michelle Ochs have created the pieces for their newest collection with great precision. Envisioning a successful and confident woman, Carly and Michelle have amped up the sophistication for their newest ensembles. Sticking with a fairly basic color palette, designs from Cushnie Et Ochs are crafted to speak toward this sophisticated woman. Dresses, shirts, skirts, and pants outline the basic forms of the collections, all in a diverse range of style. The two designers weren’t afraid to add a splash of pink to some pieces, which gives the line a great sense of vibrant energy.
