Always history when one indulges with Venexiana, the beautiful designer in age and knowledge always delivers the finest collections when her place on the New York Fashion Week pedestal arrives. This season Venexiana exercised the tool of “sticking to the basics” reigning supreme and the motif she sits comfortably in, as Queen. Enjoying my first encounter with Kati Stern’s elegance, I sat down eagerly awaiting to be blown away, and to observe a veteran in the fashion community do what she does best…show off! Fabulous is not the word and neither is fierce, I believe for the sake of Venexiana I can say execution was the prime idea behind the collection and its development.
The Venexiana brand embodies fine tailoring, fabric selection ad growth in innovative design. The Spring/Summer collection remained grounded in the usual Venexiana principles, appeal visual and flawless detail. Kati Stern’s ability to create classic tailored pieces stems from her experience and education knee deep in altering and design construction. The collection included chiffon laced gowns and cocktail dresses of measurable length. Embellishments were distributed strategically, including jewelry, feathers and sequin detail rendering the collection versatile, as this is the primary detail of the “Kati Stern touch”
This collection displayed the focus and intense care Stern places into the collections she creates for Venexiana. With this being my first experience covering her show, I can honestly say I hope the Ms. Kitty Bradshaw, assigns the Venexiana show again (shameless plug for a request). Tailored artistry never fails and this reigns supreme for Venexiana as it is a niche she fills oh so well. Cheers!
