Jeffrey Dodd’s vibrant, debut resort collection was inspired by the bird of paradise flower. “I took the saturated colors of the flower that kind of clash and go,” he explained. A terrific long red tank paired with embellished pants embodied this contrast well.
“Our red carpet dressing has gone up a lot in the past couple of months, so we’re expanding cocktail dresses, evening gowns, but it’s also important to have daywear,” he noted. Standouts included chic bias-cut dress with chiffon overlay, a design element that has become a signature for Dodd, as well as hand-embellished dresses and jumpsuits.
The designer presented his first collection of shoes — each pump as vibrant and sleek as his collection.
