Obviously, I have been missing something here by not knowing
about Juan Carlos Obando. Having just
shown a capsule collection in London, he demonstrates a fresh much needed
injection of chic to a world of sameness.
Mr. Obando has a particular take on evening wear and that is a very
slick yet relaxed and polished in the way of dressing his ladies.
One school of thought might be that he is has a very retro
eye echoing looks that were familiar to Yves St Laurent and many designers of
the 70’s or one can just say that Mr.
Obando has an impeccable color sense and
wants his ladies very elegantly dressed
but with no embroideries or embellishments .. Just simple beautiful pieces that
will stand out in a sea of black, of illusion tulle netting/soufflé and without
any bells and whistles.
I see this as a sort of Jil Sander but not so drastically
pared down to the basics and without all the blah blah blah. I am sorry that this designer has not given
us more to see but I will accept this as a teaser of great things to come I the
future. I anxiously await!
