Fashionistas everywhere are well aware that draping is an extremely important aspect of sophisticated evening and casual wear, and the Doo Ri Fall 2012 collection demonstrates how to pull off the look flawlessly.
Designer Doo-Ri Chung is known as the master of draping in New York City, and it's easy to see how she gained that reputation. Her elegant twist-top dresses and blouses are about as glamorous and sophisticated as day wear gets.
The Doo Ri Fall 2012 collection also features a play on the designer's signature draping technique by applying a variety of different textures and fabrics, like leather, shearling and suede. While black and white are the dominant shades in the collection, pale pink, olive green and a dark teal make rare, yet appreciated appearances.
