The Kimberly Ovitz show can pride itself on at least two things: some of New York fashion week's most unique, sculptural hair and what ought to be some of the best show notes of the week. They read:
THROUGH OBSERVING THE HUMAN PSYCHE AND NATURAL DEFENSES THAT MANIFEST MENTALLY AND PHYSICALLY, OVITZ EXPLORED THE INTRICACIES OF THE ILLUSIONAL PROTECTION SYSTEMS SEEN IN ANIMALS AND INSECTS. TRAPUNTO STITCHING ON ANGULAR OUTERWEAR MIMICS THE SEGMENTED ABDOMENTS OF SPECIES PROTECTED BY EXOSKELETONS, WHILE STIFF COATED COTTON SCULPTS OUTERWEAR AND CONTRASTS WITH SOFT, FAUX SHEARLING LINING. SIGNATURE BODY-CON STYLES INCORPORATE RAISED SEAMS THAT CONTOUR AND ACCENTUATE NATURAL CURVES. OTHERWORDLY [sic] COLORS SEEN ON CREATURES LIKE POISON DART FROGS AND ANEMONES ARE EXPRESSED IN A BOLD PALETTE OF LAVA, LAGOON, LAPIS, SULFUR, AND EMBER, GROUNDED BY THE FOUNDATION OF GRAPHITE, COPPER, ZINC, AND ARACHNID. HALLUCINATORY PRINTS ROUND OUT THE COLLECTION, INSPIRED BY MICROSCOPIC VIEWS OF SCALES, EXOSKELETONS AND SQUID INK, ECHOING NATURE'S ELUSIVE DEFENSE MECHANISMS, KIMBERLY OVITZ CREATES AN EMPOWERING BALANCE OF LIGHT AND DARK FOR THE AUTUMN/WINTER 2013 COLLECTION.
Got that?
