NOLCHA FW - KATTY XIOMARA

 Nolcha Fashion Week is what you call the prime locale for independent designers hungry for a spot in the style industry. And Katty Xiomara, once again did not dissatisfy. Her innovative designs matched up the consistency she showcased last year, playing with a feminine yet edgy look on the classics. Katty Xiomara exhibited sleek collar tops, fitted trousers, high-waisted hems upon striking silk textures.PBN_0350-s PBN_0826-sHer clean lines, expertly tailored fits and contoured fine details in her patterns were simply outstanding. From collars to buttons, she made quite the compelling collection. Her display matched the brand’s undeviating collected-chic vibe. Although personally speaking - the hair choice (minus the platinum blonde - above left ) styled upon the models were not bewitching to say the least.Perhaps, a well-groomed bun would have been a more suitable choice. The simplicity in the neutral colors also sealed the collection in a softer ladylike vigor.PBN_0368-s PBN_0930-sKatty Xiomara’s career began in 1996 and has grown rapidly since. She presented her first collection in Portugal Fashion Week – dabbling in children’s’ wear and swimwear firsthand. Not to mention she was previously a professor of design at CITEX. Yet in this year’s Nolcha Fashion Week she was able to exhibit her expertise and aesthetic upon a la mode Parisian style setter.PBN_0759-s PBN_0685-sAn appropriately styled dress or romper is obligatory. With Katty Xiomara’s signature style, it deserves an admired nod. The collection displayed at the recently concluded sixth edition of Nolcha Fashion Week is worth owning. A silk equipped button down is necessary in your everyday wardrobe. If you disagree, Raine suggests you to strongly modernize your flavor.   PHOTO SOURCE: Nolcha Fashion Week Press Images // Paul Newman FashionStock
