Jovovich-Hawk F/W 07.08 NYC

[peacelover142002]

NEW YORK, February 5, 2007 – Entering the Gramercy Park Hotel, it was easy to spot Milla Jovovich and Carmen Hawk. You just had to look for the throng of photographers elbowing one another for a chance to capture the rakishly glamorous design team. It was a far cry from the days when they invited friends over to Jovovich’s Greenwich Avenue town house for scones, tea, and dresses. “We've just had so much support,” said Jovovich in her sweet, raspy voice.

There was still, actually, a sense of home in the setting. Three scenes were arranged with gilt-edged mirrors, chaise longues, and Chinese screens to look like a place where a flapper might hang her cloche.

Ideas and images were snatched from various places—the avant-garde films of Kenneth Anger and Roxy Music album covers—but, ultimately, Jovovich-Hawk always comes back to grandmother’s attic. There were plenty of their reliably floaty dresses in beaded chiffon, but there was sturdier stuff, too: a little black wool suit edged in bugle beads, and frame bags with braided handles, some beaded, some patchworked. One striped suit, in fact, was so lean and mean it looked less granny and more grand-old Keith Richards.

hm, i'm partial on this....the presention of the clothes is not really flattering, and some of the dresses look more cheap than stylish....

 

[Blanche DuBois]

[Trista]

I love the presentation, some dresses are not my style but it's so fun.

 

[kitty87kat]

the presentation seems gimmicky, nothing innovative, just some cute dresses.

I really like the short silk dress on the manequin. The rest is okay.

The environment really distracts me from the clothes. It would have been ten times better without so much going on in the background.

 

[jennakathleen]

Well. The makeup is nice, anyway.

i think some stuff could be very good. as in the details shot, we can observe there's some little cute flower-details...
but anyway their moto is Vintage and Bobo style... so for me : boring but it's cute...
and the presentation, well the furnitures are very my style and good, but the presentation in itself is boring... they're not the first ones doing this... and not the last....

i like the dark mood of the environment but am definitely distracted by it...
i like some of the clothes but also find some of the dresses to be a bit matronly

i just can't really form a clear opinion when i can't get a good view of the clothes... sitting down is great and all but if i can't see the shape of the dress you're wearing then what are you modelling for???
