Carmen Marc Valvo Spring 2014

Carmen Marc Valvo created this entire collection in black and white, including the funky hairdos and I just love it. It’s edgy and contemporary and his models also don’t look like they haven’t eaten in a month. I think as role models they should look healthy and fit and curvaceous. That’s what women are. Curvaceous! I like the play on geometric patterns and the varying lengths and layers. I like the sexy elements of sheer fabrics, meshes and peek-a-boo. The light catching bead work is bedazzling and the cohesiveness of the collection is everything. Oh, and he punched the collection with one red dress. One. That’s confidence. Black and white loves a punch of color.
