Dina Bar-el Revisits
Old Hollywood for Fall 2007
 Satin
Gowns and Mixed Metallic Colors
©2007 Metrofashion.com-
Dim the lights and one imagines Hedy Lamarr or Lana
Turner coming down the red
carpet in Dina Bar-el's sultry Fall
Winter 2007 Collection for Los Angeles Fashion Week. Working with
crinkle fabrics for cocktail
and plunging satin silhouettes for evening,
Bar-el heightened the anticipation.
Each design led to the next - first fitted waistlines with spaghetti
straps, then add capsleeves, then corsets. First silver satin
gowns, then add black lace trimming, and progress to illusion
bodice. Dina Bar-el Fall 2007 brings back the tight curls and saucer
eyes of the Golden Hollwood era, when red carpets were special occasion
fashion shows and the flashbulbs were hot and close.
Rather than nostalgia, Bar-el evokes timeless glamour
by adding contemporary embellishments like crystal buttons on a navy
corsetted gown or an ivory satin scarf wrapped across the bodice (both
shown below.) The effect is classic Hollywood
arrival with finessed accoutrement for conversation. The lady today
doesn't just appear, she engages. Much to our pleasure.
