Farah Angsana gave us luxurious furs, rich colors and beautiful beading for Fall 2011.  The gowns came in jewel tones like amber, ruby and amethyst.  Some were adorned with beadwork and sequins with a glamorous effect.  They dazzled in various styles and length.  The white translucent dress was the showstopper, it was fully embellished with strategically placed crystals.

Farah Angsana gave us embellishments that had the brillance of diamonds for Spring 2011.  Sparkles were everywhere, from the belts down to the straps of those beautiful gowns.  It was all about color for Angsana.  Pinks, gray-blues, greens and a lovely print wih coral; she opted out of the neutral color palette trend for the season.  Metallics in gold and silver also made their way down this runway.  The designer delivered a collection of hard to resist dresses with a one way ticket to celebration.

Farah Angsana is the emerging designer in our ‘little black dress’ series.  The final designer in our series is not American; though Los Angeles is one of several places she was raised as a child. 

Angsana made her New York Fashion Week Fall 2009 debut at Bryant Park.  Her collection can be viewed at Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week.

A chic strapless black dress is her contribution to this series from her fall 2009 collection.  It is the quintessential cocktail dress, and the ideal one to close out this series.

The little black dress is the staple of a woman’s wardrobe, and Paris Fashion Week was the perfect time to see how this timeless dress has evolved.  It will remain a classic for many, and easy access to sophistication for all.  FashionRollcall.com.
