MFW19 Day 1 - Eve Gravel Spring/Summer 2011

That is not a bad thing in itself, but all that running from Marché Bonsecours to the restaurant in the rain, wasn’t too fabulous. Then once we got there, it was quite crowded and a good majority of the people were left standing. At first I didn’t think there was a 'fashion show' feel to the event. But after the show, when we shared a taxi van with the models from that show, one of them told me that it wasn’t supposed to be the average runway show. They were going for more of a cocktail event ambience. But hey, even after the waiting, I still had faith in Eve Gravel. And she definitely did not disappoint.

The show kind of fell into three different segments.

The first 5 models were wearing 50s vintage inspired dresses, silky white tops and uber-cute, pouffy shorts. All vintage style, clad in pearls, gloves and pill box hats. Very lady-like and cute. The color palette is perfect for the upcoming spring/summer season as white tones will be in style.

For the second part, the 5 models were wearing marine inspired clothing! From a white silk blouse with a huge black bow to a deliciously pretty looking white sailor dress cut in almost an A line. I loved how she used the marine influence with such deftness. It lent all the pieces a trendy simplicity. Perfect to be incorporated into any ensemble.

And for the last part, there was a lot of olive green and black, to match the army look.

My favorite look from that segment was the olive green dress with a bit of ruffle topped off with a leather jacket. So cool yet feminine.

Another amazing collection from Eve Gravel, no surprise there!
