Kevan Hall S/S 2010

A classy dress can be innovative. American designer Kevan Hall kicked off Scottsdale Fashion Week with a collection that had pure class and inspiration from legendary Haute Couture client, the late Elizabeth Parke Firestone. Firestone was known as the best dressed women in America and a highly regarded Haute Couture client for the House of Christian Dior and Balenciaga. The spirit of her style was evident in the collection with pieces that she would have adored, herself. There were stunning silk gowns that had a Japanese origami sensation that came in azalea pink, coral and yellow. A blush silk skirt was paired with a cream white cotton tailored shirt that would be perfect for both work and play. There were also a great number of cocktail dresses in subtle and vibrant colors. Hall gave us amazing pieces that work perfect for the modern day women. The Kevan Hall look epitomizes pure class and elegance.

The show was held in the beautiful southwest city of Scottsdale, Arizona in the main tent stage with model Aubrie Stephens opening the show in a crimson red one shouldered cocktail dress. Cocktail pieces were in matte gold, cream white, and indigo blue that came in silk and saddle-stitch silk cotton blend. The evening gowns gave a nod to the late Mousier Dior’s work from the 1950’s with the tailored cuts and vibrant colors. The focus on the collection was all about elegance and tailoring that infused a luxurious undertone. The most important element of this collection is that each look would flatter a “normal” women’s body and not just a model.

Admired pieces in the collection was the coral satin and silk origami organza gown and the indigo blue georgette crisscross dress. Other appealing pieces were the skirts that came in black and azalea pink were paired with white tailored cotton shirts.

Kevan Hall has definitely satisfied the need for luxurious all-American fashion. This collection would have been a perfect wardrobe for the modern day Elizabeth Park Firestone. The Kevan Hall women is certainly ready to be the best dressed women this next spring season. -Brent Billiman, Scottsdale, Arizona. USA.
