The City of Light’s fall-winter 2010-2011 ready-to-wear shows got off to a featherweight start Wednesday with a delicate collection of layered transparencies by emerging French designer Anne Valerie Hash.
Slouchy cropped pants and raw-seamed jackets with see-through paneling were layered over straight-leg pants in shimmering translucent polyester in jewel tones. Abbreviated cocktail dresses in the same opalescent fabrics had delicately draped bodices and short pleated shirts that shone like deep sea jellyfish.
Highlights of the airy collection included a cropped kimono jacket in multicolored sequins that shone darkly and a silken jumpsuit that walked the fine line between dressy and casual.
