DALLAS, Apr 19, 2007 / FW --- Inspired by early 20th century Russia, Vera Wang proposed luxury without being overt and sumptuousness without being blatant for Fall 2007.
Taffeta skirts cut just above the knee were paired with hip length tunics cinched at the waist with a belt. Puff sleeves on dresses with asymmetrical hemline and bias cut dresses with jewel necklines were paired with knee-high boots.
Trousers are loose fitting, which came in Capri or regular length. A-line skirts rolled at the hem were worn under apron tunics. The silhouette is generally slim, but bulked up through layering with capes, coats or cardigans.
Couture elements such as embroidery and beading were constantly present, yet used in moderation to continue the theme of luxury made casual.
This collection is perfect for the Y generation, who is actually graduating from college this summer and will begin to look for jobs this September. Raised after the extravagant 1980s and literally grew up with computers and video games, Gen Y has a different vision for luxury and Vera Wang just hit the perfect note for them.
