Shown in vignettes, this lineup had a whimsical undercurrent, inspired by the dancer and courtesan Lola Montez, whose “satirical circus travels” Chapman referenced. A chic little pink suede dress was appliquéd with paisley flowers; a ruched tulle minidress was densely covered in rosebuds. The designer also brought more vivid color into the fold, such as bright blue and red. Though she often uses the same motifs — pinwheel draping and sheer netting, for example — Chapman manages to make each of her gowns look unique: Stiff tulle layers gave way to a long dramatic skirt on a pale blush strapless one; another was piled with silver embroidery forming stars. Gorgeous indeed.
