The vivid colors of the sunset as seen from his beach house in Costa Rica inspired Carmen Marc Valvo’s fall collection. Bright tones of orange and pink veered into darker shades of brown and black, giving the sense of the sun slowly disappearing below the horizon. Plissé gave a dynamic feel to the flowing maxidresses, including floor-length tunics and waisted gowns showing elegant, hyper-feminine silhouettes. The collection also included chic separates, such as a plissé top matched with coordinated flared pants, as well as a brocade trenchcoat worn with a skirt crafted from the same fabric. A silk coat with metallic threads worked in an abstract pattern perfectly reflected the collection’s inspiration with its dégradé, shimmering effect.
