I have found my new Jesus, and his name is Dennis Basso. Originally a furrier, enormously talented evening wear designer Dennis Basso has rightfully earned the reputation as New York City's go-to man for any occasion requiring an innocently seductive, stunningly stylish frock.
This season's innocently seductive Dennis Basso collection contained organza-laden dresses in gold, taupe, liquid bronze, and python leather.
Implications - Full-skirted frocks have made an undeniable comeback within the last few years, serving as a stylishly whimsical piece for the grown consumer. A style that was once reserved for prom, weddings and Disney princesses has made its way into the daily ensemble, infusing a fun, fantastical element into everyday life.
