Christina Yi: The Serpent's Nest

Sutton and I were so excited to attend the showing of Christina Yi's FW13 collection, the Serpent's Nest. We knew to expect edge, attitude, sultry hints, unique details and beautiful tailoring - and we were not disappointed, we got that and even more. Dresses and gowns seemed to be crafted from spiderwebs - barely there yet possessing enchanting silhouettes that complemented the figure. Wound roping trims, feathered shoulders, fur embellishments, geometric cuts - they added edge and dark romance. It was feminine elegance taken into a post-apocalyptic world. And everything was tied together with Egyptian eyeliner and winding braids - stunning, tough, complex.
