This is Mimi Plange S/S2016

Bill Cunningham once made reference to horse racing and fashion; driving home the point of editors/photographers who "follow" designers. I have been following designer Mimi Plange for over ten years and by far this is her shining moment in fashion. A unique talent with a vast range of technique which she blended into one collection. Her love of florals, piping, hard, soft lines and her treatment of colors all were shown. She has utilized these looks in the past but it seems for this season the bringing together of Mimi's various design strengths worked flawlessly. Some of her best pieces was her pink overcoat and her ombre style soft sherbet skirt.

Mimi Plange S/S 2013....Mimi's tea time

For spring 2013 Mimi Plange went back to a simpler time with the concept of tea time with her mother. The collection is a color palette of dusty pinks and soft greens with tea cup style floral prints. By far this is the most embellished collection to date with a full length gown and wrap around beading as her center piece of the presentation. Other look have dresses with pleat details, the standout piece was a simple pleated pink dress with flowers.

From following this designer for four years, she seems to be a designer of extremes with past collections being more current of todays style. Anna Wintour may have said it best "Fashion's about looking forward, not looking back".

Mimi Plange S/S 2012

Designer Mimi Plange does not ring bells with me since keeping up with every fashion designer is next to impossible but if there ever was a designer who was smart in her approach to showing her collection Ms.Plange triumphs! Showing roughly 15 pieces with a few accessories at the Asia Society was a low key elegant affair but her clothing speaks volumes. Color and nature are wonderful combination and she has worked these elements flawlessly into spring. Bright colorful dresses with fitted architectural elements make for statement dressing. If Spring is this good speed up the calendar I can't wait for fall!

Boudoir D'huitres S/S 2010

For Mimi Plange designer of Boudoir D'huitres it's her first time showing her collection to the fashion press but has been in business for two years. This new comer to the industry showed a strong collection with vision and direction and knows who she wants to dress. Her girl is one who wants to stand out in the crowd. Mimi's color sense is bold and her designs trump other new designers stepping onto the track. She has managed to cover all the bases with day/evening pieces along side red carpet dresses. There is a strong editorial feel and we hope to see her designs in photo shoots in the future. She's got a bright future and is on our radar screen for new rising talent!
