Reem Acra

NEW YORK, June 10, 2011

Reem Acra still has nature on the brain. The designer, whose Fall show was bugged by insects, has transferred her fascination to flowers. And Acra, it turns out, has a pretty green thumb. Her Resort collection is a garden of vibrant evening dresses. Voluminous, tiered silk and organza gowns in yellow daffodil, red rose, and purple iris resemble flower petals unfolding. Acra adorned many of them with crystal-encrusted rose brooches, a layer of netting decked with tulle rosettes, or papier mâché-esque buds. Even the dark horse, a black tulle floor-length number that looked slightly morbid in comparison to its whimsical companions, was decorated with an oversize, hand-stitched blossom.

This was a collection fit for a princess of the Disney, not Middleton, genre. There was a raspberry red tulle ball gown with crystal-embellished capped sleeves, and a similar silhouette in ballerina pink. For her Hollywood royalty, she whipped up a few shorter versions.
