Badgley Mischka Fall 2012


Badgley Mischka offers a mixture of sparkle and modern elegance. The stunning gold dress with the beaded shoulders and low back really set the tone for the collection. The gold is rich and laced throughout the collection. Little black dresses had accents of gold on the shoulders to add some shiny touches and black column dresses were touched by gold as well on the low back right above the bum. Peek-a-boo shoulders were quite right and quite sexy. Speaking of sexy, a long sleeved black evening gown, draped at the hip was slit up to here and a gold ensemble of a bodice and skirt were a couple of hot pieces.


Many jackets and coats with volume, short or simply tailored were matched with pants that were bell bottom or slim. Some other fabrics were liquid and velvet and were elegant and festive. Badgley Mischka as always present pieces for any special occasion and never forgets to make pieces that can go from day to evening. Of course their evening wear and cocktail dresses always impress because this time around they did some fabulous beading, cuts and feather work. How elegant! Never doubt their eye and their talent. They always deliver.

Badgley Mischka Spring/Summer 2012


For this spring Mark Badgley and James Mischka produced a collection full of flourishes such as ruffles, oversize bows, and peplums. Their Badgley Mischka, Couture and Mark + James collections were very Southern Belle according to WWD (indeed, it was). I thought that it was feminine with a twist of glamour. There were brocade sheaths and mattelissé gowns, all with yards of tiers and peplums.the magenta gazar sheath, the pale green floral printed gown, and the shantung dress with a boldly draped neckline and peplum-waisted pencil skirt were quite lovely. Jackets and shorts were playful with sequins and added a sporty slant to the show. Even though the collections were combined, the presentation looked quite disjointed as a result. Badgley and Mischka were at their best with the last two georgette gowns that floated down the runway: one in blush tiers, the other, nude and embroidered. These boys are definitely your go-to for spring.
