Fashion Fairytale


With sylphs bedecked in floaty frocks that mime the delicate cloudscapes of first light, designer Erin Fetherston’s latest showing whispers of contemporary fairytales where shimmering complexions and impossibly thick hair really do exist.

Illustrating the romance of these mode-day fables, Fetherston embraces sheer evening slips, wraps and swing dresses in muted ivory, light pink and moody black.

Sexy suiting, such as sequined blazers and body-hugging crêpe trousers, add just the right amount of weight to this whimsical collection.

Accentuating these ethereal frocks: models with braided hair wreathes intertwined with metallic threads, and luminescent complexions with swathes of metallic, milky iridescent and cream makeup.

(Intel: On an even more magical note, Fetherston is fueling the fantasies of many heroine-wannabes with prices grounded in reality: Erin separates are gently priced from $195 to $600.)
