PEEK-A-BOO AT MATICEVSKI
Toni Maticevski is at his best when he doesn’t get too carried away.

In previous collections Maticevski has shone when it comes to tailoring, but frankly I have always found his evening wear too complicated and veering towards the over-the-top. At times in this, his first New York collection, it seemed like he was going down that road again. However, when it came to evening wear in this collection it was light and delicate. It would hardly be surprising if some of this collection doesn’t end up on a red carpet somewhere. There was also some beautiful draped satin gowns that hung perfectly from the body. Speaking of bodies, there was plenty on show in this collection which featured lots of barely there organza and voile garments Maticevski stuck to a gentle palette of whites and neutrals and made plenty of use of simple A-line shapes. Sometimes less really is more in fashion.
