Michael DePaulo Fall/Winter 2015 Presentation

Michael DePaulo wanted to create something innovative for his Fall 2015 collection. His inspiration— the “Power Woman.” She is defined as assertive, refined, and in control. His collection titled “Black Tie,” is meant to translate that couture phrase and typical menswear statement look to his ‘power woman.’

These one-of-a-kind looks mix blacks, whites, and reds with metallic fabrics and geometric prints creating such a chic and bold look. Elegant silhouettes drape down embellishing the stunning gowns. Each woman stood tall and statuesque, encompassing the idea behind the designs. Details were not missed as suspended beads adorned billowing sleeves and statement necklines covered edges making such an announcement in the hotel lobby of the Carlton Hotel on Madison.

Chic to Chic Accessories

With such inspiring gowns, how could they not be complimented with glamorous jewels? Beth Miller, founder of Chic to Chic Accessories, created an assortment of limited edition pieces dripping in luxury pairing so well with Michael’s collection. Each model looked as though they stepped right off of the red carpet. The lights of the Carlton made each embellished piece sparkle and shine. Every piece is sure to be on your covet list.
