Designer Ray Costarella showed
his Spring 2008 Aurelio Costarella line in the Prince
George Ballroom. This Australian native has been
designing gorgeous clothing for almost twenty years
and he recently began showing during Mercedes-Benz
Fashion Week. Costarella's Spring 2008 collection
was sexy and fitted and it was impressive that such
well fitting garments had movement.
The color palette for this red-carpet-worthy-line-of
-clothing was mostly cream, light gold, dusty pink
and black. The pieces had a lot of texture and the
attention to detail in the construction was gorgeous.
The looks had a soft, ethereal quality that was
toughened-up by gunmetal accents and liquid metallic
trim. The iconic draping and leather pailette shrugs
looked phenomenal on the runway.
The intricate layers of chiffon
were just so gorgeous, and everything spoke to full-blown
glamour. Costarella's line is loved by Hollywood
starlets like his fellow Australian natives Cate
Blanchett and Naomi Watts. And porn-star-and-gal-about-town
Jenna Jameson showed up and sat front row to show
her support.
