For Fall 2017, Vera Wang took her cues from Verona, Italy, in the 17th century. While previous seasons saw Wang creating frothy confections for her brides, this season returned to a sense of majesty.
“I felt it was time we make a fashion statement with silhouette, architecture, and a bit of pomp and circumstance,” said Wang.
That idea was best exemplified by the most grandiose look of the bunch: an A-line dress featuring fringed silk organza flange at the skirt, a corset bodice with hand-knotted ribbon detailing, and crystal and pearl embellishments on the latticelike neckline.
If Juliet were to have had a happily-ever-after ending to her story, this would have been the dress she’d have worn. Of course, Old World interpretations were given modern updates through exaggerated draped sleeves, fluid off-the-shoulder treatments, and imaginative front slits. “There’s a certain formality and a certain grandeur,” Wang offered. “But hopefully —hopefully in a new way. Deconstructed but still constructed”.
