Rafael Cennamo Fall 2012 Presentation was a little like stepping onto the set of a prom horror movie-- aka "Carrie." With the overly teased hair and prom queen crowns I was expecting a little bit of blood or maybe even leaves in the midst of the hair. Then after viewing the collection and really looking over the pictures did it dawned on me how the hair was a great juxtaposition to his collection of detail orientated and structured dresses. This collection was full of red carpet looks and elegant dresses for woman of every age. The drapery on some of the dresses were amazing like the white silk draped back gown. I could see many brides wanting to walk down the asile wearing this open back draped dress. Also the build of the steel grey structured cocktail dress amazed me. It's such a strong look with bold lines. I'm glad that he did a presentation since it really allowed the viewers to see the details and the work.
