Running twenty minutes late to begin with, we all wondered what we might be in for from the Hungarian born designer Kati Stern and her Venexiana label.
With this being my first time, all I knew about her was that she’d had a rather interesting background before embarking on her current path of fashion; careers in both music and architecture! And of course I knew that she had no fear of using fur. This wait was growing more unbearable by the second!
Eventually though, as you can see here. It was all completely worth it!
This designer wasted no time pumping up the punk rock music and hitting you directly with her best and most luxurious looking furs! Reminding us that it’s OK to go big, go glamorous, and be yourself! — I think the woman who wears these coats is thinking, “Go ahead! Let them stare!”
Now what is a lady to wear under her fur? Where is she going if she’s wearing such an envy inspiring coat? Well, to a ball of course! So evening gowns were what we were treated to next. Out they came in various shades of gold, deep and or vibrant purples and teals, nearly every one the picture of elegance.
Overall I think this collection still had Ms. Stern’s definate brand of edginess & danger that she seems to always bring to her pieces, but this time with a much more wearable finish for the Modern Woman!
Find Kati Stern Venexiana at upscale stores like Nieman Marcus and Saks 5th Avenue.
