Well it is very rewarding when a designer that you have
continued to watch season after season finally comes of age. With the Spring 2014 collection, one can say
that Ms. Leonovich has hit her stride and really needs to continue on this path
in the future.
Everything about the collection has grown up whether it be
fabrication or looks and most certainly the make and finish of the
clothes. The latter speaks volumes in
the development of the designer. The
fabrics were indeed more geared to a more sophisticated audience as was the
choice of prints. The shapes are more
grown up and the gimmicks have been minimized to the point where what was once
seen as a gimmick might now be considered part of her design DNA.
Make no mistake, these are not clothes for everyone and
believe me, the errors in judgment are minute as compared to previous
forays. One of the most jarring to me
was the when all of sudden we went from short lengths to a below the knee
length which wasn’t really necessary as an in-between length would have
sufficed. These nuances will come in
time as have so many already occurred within this collection.
All in all this is now a designer to continue to watch and
you can be sure I will be doing just and
expecting better and better every season.
Kudos to you Katya!!
