Nomi Ansari – Nomi Ansari introduces color from head to heel from the start with wigs, and clothing in a kaledioscope of colors. His first look took the simple mini dress to the max with various sequins that combined wearability and whimsy. He had the proper balance of various colors in his looks, creating a flow between the differing colors. The small hats and clothing proportions were reminiscent of the whimsy in Alice in Wonderland. He has taken the simple party dress, and adorned it with multicolored textures, colors, and patterns, creating a woman that isn’t afraid to stand out. Although several pieces succeeded, some involving the flower patterns didn’t have the same height of excellence. The pieces involving frayed dresses and tops were a hit and also with the dresses bordered with exotic animals gave an unexpected touch to the garments. The most outstanding piece was the ruby rosette dress that created a sense of surrealism, wearability, and ultimately related to the total collection. Noomi Ansari created a collection that was risk taking with some reality, but seemed to derive from a dreamer’s world.
