Color and flowers aren't only for the Spring

Before the show started, I was looking at the crowd there were a lot of, what the Korean say "ajuma" - elderly ladies. No it's not the type that you see on the street, these ajumas were decked out in their Sundays' Sunday's best.

The lights dim and the music plays. It's the Motown classic "Heard it through the Grapevine." With the amount of ajumas and classic Motown Philly music playing you expect the old and the drab. The the first pieces is revealed. A red tulip dress that cinches at the waist with a red patent belt. Then came an aqua blue dress that used a petaling effect, which made it resemble to fishscales. An applause came from the crowd.

More pedaled colorful dresses came out then there were jackets. In a bubble-y shape the jacket itself had several different colors on one piece. It was like a gradient scale of one color. Matched with the bubble jacket was a scrunched up silk scarf with the same effect. For the jackets that didn't have this look, it was made up of wool with a rose silk screen print on the back.

From that rose image, the outfits transitioned to dresses with a rose pattern juxtaposed to the velvet black material.

After the collection was finished a large applause came from the audience. Who knew flowers can grow in the winter.
