Cushnie et Ochs RTW Fall 2010 / NYCFW Day-02

Drawing on Charles Darwin’s theory of transmutation of species, Carly Cushnie and Michelle Ochs explored raw materials and handcrafted techniques. They worked their touch with a crinkled leather jacket, ponyskin dress and feathered top, interlacing braided knits and a knit sweater with fox fur sleeves. The duo also offered plenty of variations on their body-con dresses, some with sexy cutouts. This season they attempted to create a full lifestyle collection, at times with success but often forced, such as the sculptural 3-D pieces and circular cutout leathers.
