Janet
T. Planet
Spring/Summer 2003
Janet
T. Planet was bent on presenting nothing conventional for Spring/summer
2003, and was highly successful in this regard, producing a collection
of diverse silhouettes in different cuts. The show opened with some loose
peau-de-soie separates in powder blue, lime, grey and white, all of which
feature diffused embroidery. The tops are either held together with knots
or wraparound sashes, and are generally flared at either the sleeve or
the waist.
Bright
orange webbing takes the collection into more exploratory terrain, and
the same orange is used to embroider sultry items such as a white mini-skirt
and the cinched-waist skirt with barely perceptible pleats. What makes
the collection memorable are the pieces where Janet T. Planet really lets
loose, like the layered bias-cut skirt with the open side and the dresses
and with either horizontal straps or a horizontal straight cut across
the shoulders.
