BCBG Max Azria pulled out all the stops to present a collection that was so unabashedly va-va-voom sexy that it left hearts pounding and tongues wagging by the end.  A tonal palette of grays and whites was the backdrop for occasional flashes of bright color that were likened to “blurs into the urban landscape.” 

The sexiness was evoked in flowing and draped jersey fabrics that hung effortlessly off the body.   The relaxed, airy effect was played against cinched waists.  A dusty purple washed silk gown with a grey belt and satin platform pumps accurately represented the nature of the collection by combing a loose and draped silhouette with a feminine and powerful waist that demanded attention.

There was also a certain utilitarian “workman” chic that came through in jumpsuits and dresses with pockets that often contrasted with the overtly seductive nature of the garments.  It was clear by the end that Max Azria has a youthful and fresh perspective for the BCBG brand that combines functionality with a sexy irreverence that leaves all the bases covered, though definitely not all your body.
