Czar by Cesar Galindo Fall 2014

The Czar by Cesar Galindo Fall 2014 show was more than just your average designer presentation. Galindo opted to launch his Fall 2014 collection at the hub, an off-site location inside the Hudson Hotel, used this season by Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week.

The intimate setting felt more exclusive than other shows held in the same space during NY fashion week. The music, mood, and vibe of the show felt as if you were present at the opening of a new club. At one point, Galindo himself was on the floor, mingling with his celebrity clients, fellow designers, editors, and fans.

 

Models dressed in Galindo’s latest collection, graciously posed and re-positioned for the guests and buyers. This was a smart decision by the designer that would allow everyone the opportunity to view the composition and quality of every piece.

“Altered states” was the phrase Galindo used to describe the philosophy behind his Fall 2014 collection. Inspired by the effect technology has made on the world, Galindo set out to create a collection of wearable clothes for the modern woman’s ever changing lifestyle. 

Standout styles from Cesar Galindo included dresses in abstract prints, perforated leather in shades of blue, black, white, grey, and a bright peacock blue. It was challenging to find cohesion in the collection as a whole, however the collection was filled with fun dresses and separates perfect for most occasions.

Czar by Cesar Galindo Spring 2013

 Cesar Galindo has been a hired gun for many of the fashion world's top collections.  His own collection for a spring 2013 runway show is a crowd pleaser.

What I learned from his pretty Spring 2012 collection was that he drapes a flattering silhouette, and he knows how to pick his colors were precision.  This formula served him well again this season.  He had flowing maxi dresses in bright solids or graphic black and white prints.  Sunny tangerine, turquoise, yellow, hit all the top spring notes.  Long, draped garments were also forgiving to his customers who wanted a relaxed feel.

Cesar's look is not Earth-shattering fashion forward.  They are simply great looking clothes for a specific customer.  I have to say, the accessory I like the most from his shows though, is the genuine smile he always has at the end...
