Sue Wong’s Fall 2007 collection was all about fun, and it showed in the presentation. The L.A.-based designer staged a runway show of epic proportions that included 77 looks (the majority of the New York conveyer-belt productions typically include 30 to 40), themed segments and a go-go dancer introduction all paying homage to Britain in the swinging ‘60s.
From her sequined “Mod Squad” mini-dresses to a finale of a trio of bridal gowns, Wong provided much to admire in an ambitious Fall 2007 collection featuring nothing but dresses, all for a variety of occasions. While the quantity could have been pared down in favor of quality – Wong’s bohemian and more casual creations were not as unique as her more formal options – the less interesting dresses were forgiven thanks to an infectious soundtrack and pleasantly distracting accessories in the forms of handbags, head pieces by Mannolo Sanz and jewelry.
