Vickilyn McCarthy S/S 2010

A look into the closet of a punk rock princess at Vickilyn McCarthy. American designer Vickilyn McCarthy was tired of the ordinary rock princess attire and decided to take matters into her own hands and created a collection that was wild and fun. She definitely has added some much needed sizzle to Scottsdale Fashion Week. This season every element of the closet was explored that started with the knickers, the essential party dresses and the eccentric pink wedding gown. She followed the current movement in high fashion with the trend of inner-wear as being the new outer-wear. McCarthy had great influence from the former Dauphine of France, Marie Antoinette. A legendary queen that was considered, during her prime, wild and different. Antoinette’s style was visible in the voluminous dresses, corsets and the decadent masquerade ball masks. There was a hint of Asia, from the fetish queens in Japanese kabuki inspired makeup to the black kimono style dress. The Vickilyn McCarthy look is distinct and edgy.

The show was held at the Southbridge open runway with soundtrack from the symphonic metal band from Finland, Nightwish. Model Kala French opened the show in a baby pink lingerie with black trimming paired with matching knickers. Prevalent colors in the collection were black, rose red, baby pink and virgin white. Edgy pieces was the black and white striped cross-laced corset top that was paired with a ruffled feathered skirt. She offered casual pieces that was simply cool and had the signature McCarthy touch.

An admired piece was the pink wedding gown that gave a nod to the old wild west with the saloon style ruffled skirt. Another favorite piece in the collection was the black Japanese kimono mini-dress.

Vickilyn McCarthy is all about having no boundaries and endless fun in this collection. She has brought fantasy to life and referenced the legendary Mademoiselle Marie Antoinette. The Vickilyn McCarthy women is outgoing, fun and free spirited this next spring season. -Brent Billiman, Scottsdale, Arizona. USA.
