October 17, 2005 HOSTESS WITH THE MOSTESS by Antonia Leslie THE VERONIQUE BRANQUINO FASHION SHOW WAS HELD IN A VERY STATELY CAR PARK WITH A GLASS ROOF. THE MODELS WERE SIMPLY MADE UP, DARK EYES AND PALE FACES WITH NATURAL HAIR. THE COLOURS OF THE CLOTHES WERE VERY DEFINATE - NEARLY ALL GREY, ICE BLUE, TURQUOISE AND BLACK. CRISP MIXED WITH FLUID AND CHIC WITH AMERICAN 70'S RETRO. THE PRINTED SILK JERSEY HAD A HOSTESS FEEL TO IT NEEDING ONLY THE COCKTAIL TROLLY TO SET IT OFF. I REALLY ENJOYED THE DROP SHOULDER SHORT CAPES AT THE BACK OF DRESSES, JACKETS, WELL ALMOST ANYTHING (SHE IS ONE OF THE MOST CAPABLE TAILORS) EVEN ATTACHED TO THE SILK SATIN BLOUSE TOP WITH ONE OF THE BEST PRINTS OF THE SEASON, A BLACK TREE IN FRONT OF AN INVERSED LANDSCAPE WITH SANDY SKY AND BLUE LAND.
