Context:
In an inventive combination of informality and grand effect, Kamali exploits the silver and dove silk of parachute cloth for evening wear. She creates an inflated silhouette akin to eighteenth-century fashioning in the fullness and curtainlike drape of the abundant fabric. Kamali contrasts the utilitarian material with the lavishness of a profligate billowing skirt.
