Jen Kao S/S 11 Show

Is S/S 2011 the season for reinvention? Jen Kao seems to think so, the sultry and in your face designs she has become known for were noticeably absent from her runway this season. In their place was a romantic bohemian look with a focus on all things light and lacy. Carefully constructed crochet dresses and frothy silk gowns were standouts and skin was still a motif, with flesh tones dominating the palate. A mix of sheer fabrics and cutouts provided a suggestive peak, but navel skimming crop tops and a touch of corsetry were about as risque as the pieces got. Still, Kao’s take on boho is sure to be met with a warm welcome by anyone with a yuppie budget looking to unleash their inner hippie.
