Alexandre Herchcovitch FW13

Saturday at Milk Studios, Alexandre Herchcovitch presented his FW13 collection and the results were swoon-worthy. Glossy, sumptuous fabrics, beautifully ladylike silhouettes that bring to mind Downton Abbey or even Versailles-era elegance, patterns that make you say things like "are those the curtains" but in a strangely good way, and just the right amount of distressed elements that make you feel like you just caught a young Catherine Medici or Princess Sophie Charlotte of Germany after a tryst. It was eighteenth century glamour updated with modern edge - the way you'd want to embrace romantic opulence today.

My seat had me taking pictures against a background of blinding white light, so here are some of my shots...

And now here are some shots from Style.com so you can actually see how gorgeous the collection was...
