First Impression:
- The bondage element that permeates this sexy collection feels balanced by the modest + refined hem lengths.
- The color palate of black, white and petal pink ends up feeling a little heavy...yet perhaps that is due to the leather harness detail consistent throughout the looks.
- Architectural detailing feels a bit busy + overly done in some of the styles, but come across as brilliant in others.
This Collection is For:
The sophisticated professional woman who isn't afraid to push the fashion limits in her big city surroundings.
So...what do you think? Is the harness a bit much or would you rock it to your local hot spot? Are you excited about the leather + lace trend?

i do love the leather and lace trend, but the harness is a little to... uh... 50 shades for me? (now i haven't read 50 shades, i'm just "assuming") i'd wear the trend probably more in a leather skirt lace top kinda way... or vice versa :)
I love the look - but the hemline is so hard to pull off for most people, i feel like it makes peoples legs look stumpy.
@ Molly - Bahaha! You are so right about the 50 Shades of Gray comment. It's a little S&Mish for sure...but just not in an in-your-face type of way.
@ Leslie - Totally right about the hemline. I would have to wear heels to pull it off...but even then it's not the most flattering. These runway models make every cut look "doable" but it's not always realistic or a good idea!
Thanks for the great comments ladies!!

I think that harness is going to stay on the runway. It looks like what I put on my dogs to walk them! Those below the knee hemlines ain't happening on me...total nightmare for petites!

I love the leather and lace details but the 'bondage' is very interesting.. I don't know if I can rock that part. haha..

So as a vegetarian (and also as someone who does not work in the S&M industry) the leather harness is not going to work for me. The below the knee hem is not going to work on my stumpy legs. So, I am left with lace. However, how can I wear lace panels without looking like 90's Madonna?

SOOO excited about the leather aspect! I do love the lace, but would rather see a colored lace go with the leather. i think it is fresh and nice to see something so out of the box looking like a harness. Two thumbs up BCBG, great post Marion!

I like the collection, the impression is feminine, strong and sophisticated at the same time

hm. i just cannot get into the below the knee hemline. to me it just looks like someone needs to get their skirts or dresses taken up.
I love all three concepts, but the pictures don't move me at all. It kinda looks like the leather details were tacked on after the garment was finished.
Such a pretty show, loved the use of patterns.

I love the edginess of the leather mixed with the softness of the lace. Not too sure about the below the knee skirts-they're not giving me any life!
