NEW YORK, Sept 17, 2005 / FW / - Inspired by photographs taken by Louise Dahl-Wolfe in the 1940’s, Wolfgang Joop designing under the label Wunderkind evoked the feelings of both innocence and sophistication, romance and resistance, rigor and restraints.

These contradictions are the essence of the Wunderkind collection, as mentioned on their press notes.

A play between structure and softness, the silhouettes go from flowing to voluminous to structured and tailored.

A masterful work of art as designed in batiste, silk chiffon and cashmere linen. The collection is certainly dreamy and will easily take you to a whole new other era to be playful.

From the silk chiffon dresses and skirts, to the menswear-inspired trousers and fitted jackets as well as the loose fitting shorts some with layers, Joop created magic with this collection.

Layering, draping, braiding, ripping and hand-stitched embroidery are detailed on faded pastels and soft neutrals while roses blossom as the designer’s signature print.

The wing like, cape like sleeves gives some of the pieces that angelic and dreamy look.

Everything was lovely and it is hard to choose a favorite, but if this reviewer has to choose, the white lace empire gown with a deep V neckline for evening and/or red carpet affair while the white pant suit set worn by Tiu will be best for daywear.

Another good showing for Wolfgang Joop! So if you dare to add spice to your closet then look out for Wunderkind’s Spring 2006 collection.
