Neutrality at its finest. These words burst into my head as soon as I saw how Elie Tahari's Fall 2011 collection has truly mastered the art of shades! The collection began with several all-black looks with sweeping capes ,deep, dark detailing, and empowering silhouettes. Call me a sickeningly obsessed black, gothic lover-child, but I cannot stop drooling over the wonders of black!
The switch from all black to white began with a boot...well...two boots. Stark white, knee-high, leather boots worn with all black transitioned the collection from hell to heaven (or at least it looked like it to me!). Angelic ensembles came and went as Tahari decided to whip out some animal onto his runway. The deep reds soon followed as well as luscious beiges and tans. His luxurious fur designs made me wish that I, as a mere student, could ever have such an occasion to wear anything of the sort!
Elie Tahari has successfully completed the task of drawing drool from a young adult's mouth. As of now, I have metaphorically swallowed this collection and it has hit every single of one the taste zones in mouth. Though my strangeness may be frightening, this did in fact happen-it was incredible.
Willing to try out these incredible neutrals? To pull it off like these ladies, try one shade all over and mix different textures and levels of color saturation to make one beautifully varied ensemble.
Warning: mixing neutrals is amazing--BUT-your face must be at least partially plastered with complexion enhancing foundation, blush, and eye makeup. You may appear as though you trotted straight out of the forest if you do not take such precautions.
