NEW YORK, Feb 12, 2005 /FW / – Jeffrey Chow offers a very classic wardrobe for the coming Fall/Winter 2005 showing 29 exits in his collection by way of dinner dresses, day coats and evening coats.

Inspired by the films of Fassbinder and Visconti, he used decoration and embroidery to help set the mood creating the color palette within each piece.

From wide leg pants to skinny pants, chemise & tunic dresses, and bias & pencil skirts as well as his Eisenhower and Imelda jackets all seem to come from another era but constructed for the modern day woman.

Using black, off white, olive, cool grey, burnt copper, ink blue all shown in very lux fabrics of wool/silk, charmeuse, silk twill, wool/alpaca, cashmere, cotton velvet, wool crepe (with lame flakes), satin and 5-ply hand knit camel hair.

Highlighting the pieces with twisted and bow detail, back opening, tarnished sequin, tarnished floral sequin, fox feather applicate, bullion metal sequin embroidery, leather knot buttons, and jet beading enhancing each ensemble and giving it an even more feminine silhouette.

A very promising and enterprising designer, congratulations Jeffrey Chow for a well deserved honoree of Perrier as the “Bubbling Under Award”.
