An evolving vocabulary of glamour, expressed through clothes. Construction is paramount, a means of shaping confidence through the body. Embroideries of crystal and feathers contour forms, chiffon and velvet melt, while archetypical evening silhouettes are translated unexpectedly, in fetishistic leathers or trompe l’oeil treatments of animalier print. Delineations of the hallmarks of both 16ARLINGTON and Antony Price come together in new hybrids - masculine feminine, day and night, always with an elegance and beauty.
16 looks, 16 characters, 16 identities. 16 interpretations of glamour on 16 exceptional women, faces both breathtakingly familiar and excitingly new. Glamour here is a frame for an expression of the self, looks chosen to echo the personalities, loves, lives, of the women who inhabit them.
