"Vast Skies that Yield Dreams of Eternity"

Amish girl goes preppy. This season Liliana Casabal’s creations for Morgane Le Fay highlight sinister solemnity alongside restrained exuberance.

For Fall 2005, inspired by Baudelaire’s ‘Landscape’, the eclectic designer created a surrealist collection constructed upon the “concept of letting go of your mind and the day to day reality.” Reminiscent of the work of a young Nicolas Ghesquiere for Balenciaga, Casabal worked with volume and proportion to manipulate conventional silhouettes. Her whale boned velvet jackets, pleated wool skirts, cashmere capes and draped jersey tops communicate a simple élan dictated by cut and construction. Devoid of distracting embellishments, these are architectural clothes rely on well thought out design and rigorous tailoring to craft visual drama.
