Twinkle by Wenlan Fall 2006: Turning Edgy
New York Fashion Week Fall 2006
By Heide Winkenwerder

NEW YORK, Feb 5, 2006/ FW/ --- She might be the darling of the young junior leaguers, but Wenlan Chai designing for Twinkle is also embarking on streetwise edgy looks as her label gains fans around the country.

Presenting 25 exits (but whose counting especially if the looks are just gorgeous?) of soft innocent silhouettes with touches of punk, Wenlan Chai’s foray into urban looks retains her signature style of saccharine sweetness.

Mixing chunky knit vests, sweaters, and chunky hand knit scarves in geometric graphic patterns with silk charmeuse dresses, skirts, and cropped pants all matched up with intarsia knit leggings worked quite well together.

Playful details in tucks, ruches, twisting, and bubble hems added to the originality that Wenlan does so well.

Completing the look by adding the one-of-a-kind Twinkle jewelry collection that has developed quite a following, this time of geometric symbols found on her prints, with neon plastic cutouts mixed with semiprecious chunky stones, gold chain and futuristic silver hoops again adding to the quirkiness of this designer that everyone loves so much.

Standouts include the textured tweed Jackie O dress worn with orchid twist silk/cotton blouse over striped leggings, black and banana striped short sleeve sweater over diamond crinkle chiffon long sleeve blouse with textured tweed mermaid skirt, deep purple hooded cap sleeve chunky knit sweater vest with drop pockets over ikat print mustard sweater, and the black and banana tuxedo chunky knit cardigan worn over lavender shawdowlands twist-back gown in silk charmeuse and cotton layers.
