An artsy
tableau vivant was assembled with a small collection of consistent womenswear
pieces in the earth shades of cream, gold, silver tan and sand. These
colours, prominent in Crystal's spring 2002 collection, are used in a
more narrowed field of fashion acuity. Crystal leaves the world of variegated
multi-colouring for monochromes. Both the felted lace wool dress with
metallic pant and the embroidered silk top with double-knit asymmetric
hem skirt and pintuck detail are combinations in strong solids. The fused
wool cream skirt would go well with anything.
What the
collection lacked in diversity was made up for with cleanly executed focus.
The pinnacle of this collection is spelled out in a felted lace top and
Dupont jacket with wool/cotton pant featuring engineered lace. The successful
fusion of technology fabrics and wide bands of black lace is a feat that
could only be pulled off by a handful of forward-thinking designers. We've
known for a while that Crystal is one of them.
