Metallic Print Gowns: More Runway Trends

The evening wear on the Fall runways was every kind of metallic and glittery. I’ve already covered the more uniform fabrics in metallics, and glitters, but another thing that is really blowing me away is the way metallics have been used to create patterns.

Metallic printing and sequins have been combined in a way on this Pucci gown that makes the shimmery fabric look like it is falling in waves. The ornately embellished bodice is balanced out by the delicate simplicity of the chiffon skirt.

The metallic sequins on this Calvin Klein gown are clustered into an almost giraffe print pattern. When I think of sequins, I usually think of prom type gowns, but this is an utterly classic and chic print. The asymmetrical hem of the skirt and the simple silhouette keep the print from going over the top.

This dramatic Zac Posen gown is one of my absolute favorites. The combination of the deep sweep and elaborate sleeves is just breathtaking, and the interwocen metallic threads create subtle striping that enhances the long lines of the gown.
