It’s no secret that Michael Halpern loves all things sparkly. He built his label by offering a new, unapologetically glamorous approach to evening wear with striking flared sequined jumpsuits and body-hugging dresses.
Starting with the printed blazer dress that opened the show and featured a dramatic cape at the back and see-through sequins that created a liquid effect. There was a gold leather pantsuit; metallic minidresses, and dramatic draped gowns drawing inspiration from Barbra Streisand in “Funny Girl.”
Among the standouts were a printed gown with a dramatic draped back — a nod to the patterns in the Ziegfeld Follies theater in New York — and a burnout lamé balloon dress, worn with leopard-print tights and referencing the way the women in “Funny Girl” would have to rework their worn-out costumes.
