Dark Angels
From mysterious Tim Burton-esque heroines to futuristic Matrix warriors, a dark and dramatic magic emerged as a force to be reckoned with this season. Sometimes stark and minimal, sometimes near-fetishistic Goth, designers including Zac Posen, Anna Sui, Yves St. Laurent, Rodarte and Yohji Yamamoto delivered a moody vision of self-possessed power.
Whether they were achieved in leather, PVC, lace or web-inspired knits, the clothes and accessories cast a mysterious spell over Hollywood. Cate Blanchett was a dark apparition in Givenchy Couture at the Berlinale International Film Festival, Lindsay Lohan rocked the Goth goddess look at CHANEL's fashion show in Paris and Gwyneth Paltrow showed up at the Iron Man premiere in a wicked little black confection that makes Catwoman's costume look tame by comparison. Whatever the inspiration, this season will be filled with supremely fierce creatures. ILORI has the perfect styles to indulge your dark side.
