I is for Innovation

Imaginative fashions delight and intrigue. We all love to see something new and different for a change... right, darlings?

What really impressed CC on the fall runways was the exquisite variety of materials, ranging from PVC to wood! Designers utilized rare and unexpected media such as stingray, metal, polyurethane, copper, plexiglass and resin.
If the runways are any indication: life in plastic is fantastic!!
