Light as air is how we felt watching the Dennis Basso Spring/Summer 2017 line unfold. Chiffon, lace and silk organza breezed through the catwalk in a delicate fashion. The veteran designer even managed to make leather look weightless. Not straying from what he knows best, Basso found a way to make fur blend in seamlessly. Exquisite beading and luminescent sheen created more depth to a few of the pieces. A mix of gowns, above the knee dresses, and vests were accessorized with scarves wrapped around the neck like chokers. Bringing the collection down to earth were the rich and chromatic neutrals. Champagne nudes, chocolate browns, and grays resembling slate showed us just how elegant neutrals can be.
