Vlademar Iodice February 2010 Fashion Week February 10, 2010 Written and Photographed by Mark Tauriello

Iodice's fall and winter 2011 line was a blend of elegance, sophistication, and personality. Inspired by the Amazon rainforest, Iodice used printed fabrics featuring watercolors of toucans, butterflies, and bold floral patterns; taking this winter collection towards a more colorful direction. Form fitted sequined cocktail dresses, plunging necklines, a-symmetry, sharp angles and lace created a modern elegance with sex appeal. The collection also plays on the relationship between man and nature. Accessories featuring geometric metals, chains, and pyramid studs provided structure and shine to his the organic pieces. Most innovative in his collection was the leather coat with vine and petal cut out shapes, cut not by hand but by laser! Combining both natural and industrial elements is still going strong in both fashion and architecture, and will hopefully create a balance between nature and machine.
