TFW diary: The mini rages on at Basch by Brandon

By Renee Reardin

Although the midi is said to be the hemline of the summer, Brandon R. Dwyer brought hemlines back up and then some. Bums the word for the Basch by Brandon fall 2011 collection, as hems on mini dresses were cut just under the tush, and asymmetrical dresses and gowns had sexy slits gracing the upper thigh. Bodycon sheer and jersey LBDs, and a floral palette of silk draped dresses were adorned with lime green thick or wrap-around belts and strappy heels. The show however wasn’t all a walk in the garden. We cringed in sympathy with having to watch the models tug their dresses down before striking a pose, and one girl having the sleeves of her dress glide down her shoulders, and having several cameras flash before she realized the wardrobe malfunction. Our nerves began to settle when we were wowed by a silk cobalt gown showing off the model’s full leg and a black sheer gown with silver beading in just the right spots, which have definitely fallen into our mental shopping basket!
