SHIKI Designs – cocktail dresses

Fall 2009 is coming in like gangbusters judging by the newness at SHIKI!  Brand new is this beautiful cocktail dress that embodies elegant glamour and superb texturing, which is a hallmark of Shinichi Mathy‘s designs.  The cowl necked top beautifully complements the bubble skirt, both embellished with a stylized gingham check texture.  It comes in lots of delicious colours:  black, maroon, violet, gold and topaz. This is the perfect date dress and a refreshing change from your little black dress, which I know you have stashed away in your inventory!  Also stay tuned for the reveal of SHIKI’s Fall 2009 collection at KMADD on October 24, 10 am to 12 pm slt.

From design maven Annah Whitfield, comes these adorable creations from .:StoRin:. The attention to detail and beautifully wrought textures are a couple of the highlights of these items.  First is a lush knee-length cocktail dress called Twiggy.  Different layers are included so break out that fabulous jewelry, scarves or jackets and you can have tons of fun accessorizing this already perfect dress.

Next is a chic and sexy high waisted sculpted skirt called Berry.  I love the detailed textured belt and again there are different layers for mixing and matching.  I’ve chosen to accessorize the skirt with a leather tote called Beje also from .:StoRin:. , a halter style top from Park West called Maya and sunglasses from Armidi Gisaci.

Now, we have a pair of fun shorts called Colby in brown complete with prim leg cuffs and again they come in pants or underwear layers to go with your existing wardrobe.

Lastly, is a fantastic belt called Efemera in the malt shade.  This highly detailed prim belt will go with just about anything!

Check out these items and MUCH more at .:StoRin:. and be sure to enter the ad board contest that’s running until September 19 for your chance at a some great prizes.
