Inspired by the remake of The Great Gatsby, the Badgley Mischka Resort 2013 collection is tailored for the starlets of the 1920s. Androgynous bombshells like Mia Farrow and Carey Mulligan also provided visual inspiration for this stunning series.
Known for their extravagant evening wear, Mark Badgley and James Mischka decide to go for a more simplified silhouette this time around, opting for slinky sheath gowns and curve-hugging cocktail dresses. Despite the lack of opulent beading, the leg-barring cuts and delicate necklines provide the right amount of subtle seduction.
The Badgley Mischka Resort 2013 collection starts off with elegant black and white ensembles dominating the runway. The figure-hugging black mesh cocktail dress with the gold stitched bodice is a true knock-out in this first half. The collection closes off with ravishing reds and cascading floral gowns flowing across the runway.
