STORYLINE
SOPHIA KOKOSALAKI HITS THE SWEET SPOT
Kokosalaki's well-draped collection hit the sweet spot between edgy and tasteful but her classic, no-surprises runway show paled in comparison with those of Gaultier and Scott.
The Greek-born designer opened the show with a steady parade of black looks, belted leather coats, microfiber dresses and washed silk blouses, to which precise draping lent a dulcet note, softening what might otherwise have seemed harsh.
A cocktail dress in shimmering gunmetal was full-skirted and flirty. A transparent black chiffon dress was cloud-light.
For good measure, Kokosalaki, who has shown off her skill with embroidery in seasons past, dipped into a treasure trove of beads and bugles to produce a showcase of fancy jackets and dresses.
Metallic beadwork in a subdued hue that was neither bronze nor silver but somehow both at the same time gave the short tight sheath dresses an heirloom quality, as if they'd been unearthed from the trunk of a forgotten but fashion-forward relative.
The last look, an embroidery-covered toreador jacket worn over a black microfiber unitard, was simply a show-stopper.
