The glamour and excitement of luxury train travel seems to have been an inspiration for several prominent Fall 2012-Winter 2013 collections, but nobody has done it better than Dennis Basso. When Dennis Basso showcases trains and whistles, only the famed Orient Express will do.
With this collection, Dennis Basso introduced an elegant line-up of vanity cases in Russian broadtail and weekender bags in voluminous skins that are certain to be key statement pieces for the season. As extravagant as these items sound, they encapsulated the collection’s message to perfection and helped keep the significance on point. We loved them!
But it was the various new fur treatments that made both clients and editors swoon with delight and awe. Mr. Basso applied his unparalleled artistry and magical touch to introduce parka-like garments that appeared to be wool gabardine, but turned out to be micro-sheared fur. Then, he turned multi-fur compositions into colorful marvels.
When it comes to New York Fashion Week, Dennis Basso is one of the greats, one of the most creative. His tool is fur and his fearless personality a design advantage. Nothing seems to faze him.
This collection was strong, imposing, and even romantic in its sleekness. As ultra-luxurious as the pieces were, they still managed to exude a classic American sportswear quality, an ease that is usually hard to grasp in fur design.
