Tisci has a way of making traditionally romantic motifs dead serious. Indeed, his ruffles, precision-cut with a hint of Victoriana, had an edge, but also a refreshing feminine ease. That was amplified on gossamer confections whipped around the body in Grecian drapes, some topped with a shrug or shoulder decorations that looked like pastel candy. Sweeter still were the angelic white dresses, some with a graphic lace pattern, that closed the show.
It was all gorgeously crafted, and Tisci managed to make familiar silhouettes, baby dolls and trapeze tops worn over skinny or drop-crotch pants, feel new. Most importantly, he didn’t get mired in excessive bondage or overwrought ideas here. By avoiding those traps, he let chic shine brightly.
