Some highlights from emeDesigns appearance at the Nolcha runway show, an elegant small label based in Illinois Quad Cities. I really enjoyed some of the fabric choices in the show, which were inclined in the slick and shiny direction: like this lovely brown evening dress. I really like the layering of two different heavy patterns in the same color family. It creates a look that is very strong, yet subtle.

Also, a lot of “big pants” in this show – bigger than I have seen yet. They somewhat remind me of the JNCO’s I used to wear when I was a wee skater chick in high school, and I find it interesting that I find them somewhat appealing and compelling. The robust fabric choices really brought the cut to life, and made them pack a very dramatic punch. And there is nothing I love more than dramatic pants.
