"Dark Innocence" the fall 2014 collection by Angel Sanchez was
inspired by women who appear demure to outside world, but pray for divine power to control their forbidden dark desires.
The result
was a collection of modern silhouettes with sharp lines and leather details
that verged on futuristic at times. The powerful yet sophisticated collection
was anything but demure.
The
collection opened with a series of edgy designs in a dark color palette of black
with touches of gunmetal. Leather paneling, pleating, and details added texture
and interest to the all black ensembles. A micro pleated leather shift dress
shined like liquid metal on the catwalk. The darkness of the collection gave
way to a lighter palette of gold organza, lurex tweed, emerald and sapphire
jewel tones, and white wool crepe.
Details like high cut geometric necklines,
open backs, and color-blocked seams, gave the collection by Angel Sanchez its signature
futuristic style. A-line tops with were paired with tailored trousers for day
to evening looks, and capes attached to dresses and gowns added drama to
the collection.
