Angel Sanchez Fall/Winter 2013

Click the photo for more looks from Angel Sanchez.

Angel Sanchez’s usage of intricate embroidery and detail captivated the crowd. His collection embodied a very feminine aesthetic with flowing evening gowns, and juxtaposed it with dark makeup that gave each model a tough edge.

Many of the models sported evening wear that reflected Sanchez’s expertise in tailoring and draping, which greatly complimented each model’s figure. The dresses moved gracefully down the runway while expressing a high sophistication.

In some looks, Sanchez combined lighter fabrics like crepe bateau and organza with heavier elements like tulle and corazza jacquard detailing, which gave these looks a tough feminine complexity.

The most eye-catching element of the collection was Sanchez’s black and gold applique embroidery. This embroidery stood out in a three-dimensional way that gave each gown an intricate sense of movement.  The Sarah Loertscher geometric jewelry that each model wore also complimented this elegant movement and complexity of the collection.

Even though many pieces of the collection evoked a high sense of tough feminine sophistication, some more plain pieces with lesser detail and embroidery did not stand up to par with the other pieces of the collection.

Many reoccurring elements in the collection were one shoulder dresses, side panels, and gold detailing.

    Beautiful photo! From the recesses of the folds of the dress in the sheath, the sleeves, and the collar, to the recesses due to the model’s cheekbones, the photo captures it all. The balance of the teal dress with the eyes is clearly seen in the photo as well. How the photographer also captured the fishnet patter of the nylons encapsulates the detail yet the flow of the dress is captured as the model walks. Kudos to the photographer! Let’s see more from Ms. Christy!
