Vera Wang serves up flirty florals for next winter

NEW YORK (AFP) - Vera Wang's vision of next winter is ultra-feminine - on Tuesday, she sent out a structured collection of chic cocktail dresses and sharp trousers in brocade, floral silks and lush satin.

Ms Wang, whose evening wear and bridal gowns are highly coveted by Hollywood A-listers, played with cut and structure, elongating the sleeves of a little black dress and cropping the hems of asymmetrical short skirts.

Black and beige are the colors of the season, with pops of purple and bronze in floral silks brightening the wintry mood.

Long gloves past the elbow or a fox cape added a dash of refinement for late-night Manhattan soirees.
