A.F. Vandevorst - fall 2012 - RTW

Models with faces completely obscured by swaddling scarves and hats brought forth ample knits and trench coats, cinched at the waist by wide leather belts. Initially leaving all to the imagination, arms were obscured with long leather gloves; legs covered by knit stockings or lush black leather boots. Later peaks of skin began to materialize. Revealed shoulders combined with  mid length skirts and dresses.  It seems designers Filip Arickx and An Vandevorst fancied playing with extremes. To balance it all out, lines were long, with many the floor length coat or dress dusting the ground in spools of silken chiffon.
