Relaxation and movement were at the core of the unprecedented designs, creating eveningwear and body-fitting silhouettes in a mix of delicate sequins and silk fabrics.
Knorr cleverly used redeveloped fabrics to create an eveningwear collection in bold and elegant designs set in rich tones of red, pink and shimmery black and silver. Knorr elevated the collection with hints of sporty details displayed as soft deconstructed shapes made from sporty lurex ribbing for maximum movement.
The models made statements in dramatically draped palazzo pants worn with the season’s must have neckline – the Tunic top styled with geometric styled earrings in circular or lengthy rectangular shapes. Lyrca jerseys in neon had a facelift — decorated in Swarovski crystals and captivating sequins of all sizes; sleeves donned large drapes in neon colors; there was also a large selection of fluid, showstopping silk gowns and kaftans with avant-garde draping.
The presentation was a celebration of modern-day movement and Knorr cleverly used redeveloped fabrics like Lyrca to create an eveningwear collection that delivered both comfort and glamour.
