This selection of dresses from Emma Cook’s collection for Fall looks as if the models have just emerged from a smoldering fire. Don’t get me wrong, I love the designs, but they are a little "chimney-sweep couture."
Cook has many of the seasons trends covered; lace, leggings, sheer and tie-dyed fabrics. The minis are fun, layered and slightly goth. I particularly like the gold dress, with loads of beaded fringe and lace.
Perhaps with plain black leggings the dresses could stand their own ground; they are very flirty.
