Front Row at Roe for WDesigns

January 27, 2010 By Leave a Comment

Last Friday, Wayne Hwang let an invite-only crowd take a peek at his WDesigns label’s new looks for spring. Dubbed Venus, the collection channeled the vibe of a futuristic goddess done up in form-fitting frocks and not at all afraid to shimmer.

From our seat in the front row, the show was a joy to watch and well-organized from the moment we arrived. Our favorite runway moment: the Obsequens cocktail dress in blue, a short, one-shoulder number ready for the dance floor.

Want more? You can catch a video of the show on WDesigns.
