- Story Text: Carmen Marc Valvo, Behnaz Sarafpour and Calvin Klein all showed their Fall 2004 collections as part of New York Fashion Week.
Designer Carmen Marc Valvo is inspired by the power and sensuality of old Hollywood for his fall 2004 looks. He draws on the styles of iconic stars like Marlene Dietrich, Greta Garbo and Audrey Hepburn.
Muted tweeds, plaids and delicate chiffons are interpreted into his creations, with plenty of blacks and whites in the collections.
"I am designing for a woman of beauty, strength and confidence," said Valvo.
Another important theme in Marc Valvo's collection is weaving, with plenty of textural twisting and ruching on bodices, interwoven bias bands and fabric ribbons caressing the body or trailing from shoulders or necklines.
Designer Behnaz Sarafpour showed an old world glamour filled collection for fall 2004. The silhouette is long and slinky, with lots of satin and silk, evoking the glamour of a bygone era.
"The feeling of nostalgia and time passing, without getting too antiquey," says Sarafpour of her collection.
The looks included lots of long dresses and skirts, which made for a feminine, yet sexy collection," said Sarafpour.
Calvin Klein showed his fall 2004 collection, not drifting far from the elegance and style he is well known for. Washed silk in dark rose, bronze and black dominated the collection, with fur and wool thrown in. Chiffon dresses and silk pants were prominent in Klein's Fall 2004 look.
The American designer delivered a collection that stayed true to his signature style.
