The Graeme Black Fall 2009 show was full of surprises, from dresses that looked like they were splattered with mud to metallic python minis and over-sized Dracula coats.
The Graeme Black collection seamlessly blended the classic sass of pin-up girls of the 40s and 50s with the punk fashion looks of 90s. The shoes left quite an impression too, their bright reds and leopard print pattern leaving the bootie-wearers perfectly targeted for cougar jokes.
While you may not have heard of Graeme Black yet, his outrageously daring designs prove this designer isn’t ready to fade into the background.
