Evening wear included bodycon metallic embellished mid length dresses in lace and cotton, as well as garments constructed entirely in red leather. Black, white, and red were the predominant colors in the collection. Models, including Christy Turlington, Nadja Auermann, and Helena Christensen, wore smokey eyeshadow and dark lipstick. Accessories included long gold necklaces, oversized jeweled earrings, chain belts, and Chanel quilted handbags.”
