WHAT WE THOUGHT: There was a shock value to this collection that is lovely and unexpected (especially for showing in New York). Lightweight bubblegum hued dresses mixed nicely among the harder edged black and lace bondage pieces. Rope neck ties actually held up some of the sack dresses with reflective rainbow speckles. All in all, it was balanced contradiction of elements.
