Farah Angsana Spring '13

Nancy reports on Farah Angsana's spring show.

There are almost too many things to say about Farah Angsana's Spring 2013 collection. While she most certainly didn't seem short on inspiration, as a whole the collection didn't quite fit together. Angsana's major influences, the Amazonian culture and Brazil, brought many beautiful colors and patterns to her runway, as seen in the floor-grazing gowns below.

But how do these black and white pieces fit into the collection? As gorgeous as these pieces are, it appeared as though another designer was presenting a separate collection entirely. 

           

Farah Angsana's shorter mod dresses stood out with unique bold patterns and bright colors. The bottom dress (below, left) may be a touch too Barbie doll, but I love the clean lines and simplicity of the neutral beige dress to its right.

The silk black and white gown below was my favorite of the collection. The lace detailing is perfect and the train makes an unforgettable statement. The show closed with the brightly feathered, crystal tulle gown on the right, but again. how does it relate to the entire collection?
