While it comes as no surprise that there was no shortage of exquisite evening gowns at the Badgley Mischka Spring 2011 RTW show yesterday at the first fashion week held at Lincoln Center, design duo Mark Badgley and James Mischka definitely stirred the pot. Amid the divine dresses that will surely grace many a red carpet come awards season, were chic sportswear pieces that evoked the seventies. Also delectably unexpected was the team’s decision to feature three collections during one show—couture, ready-to-wear, and the more modestly priced Mark & James line. This interplay made for a very dynamic display in which a bikini top with sheer overlay and high waisted silk shorts were followed by a dreamy blue Grecian gown. Despite the presentation of three distinct styles the show never lacked a feeling of consistency; and though other collections also favored floppy hats and high waists, Mark Badgley and James Mischka elevated the look with elegant embellishments all their own.Text Jessica Best
