REVIEW
COMPLETE COLLECTION
NEW YORK, February 10, 2012
By Maya Singer
"Doo.Ri" and "draping" are virtually synonymous at this point, whether Doo-Ri Chung likes it or not. For the past few seasons, the designer has been kicking against her reputation as New York's draper extraordinaire and emphasizing her collections' tailoring and knits. Today, however, Chung came home to herself, helped along by the inspiration of Butoh dance and its poetry of motion. This collection boasted some of her strongest draped silhouettes in a while, notably the twist-top blouses and dresses. Here and elsewhere, necks were high, which gave the form-fitting silhouettes an air of barely suppressed sexiness. A sleeveless ink-blue wrap dress with a twist top, for instance, came off like something Halston might have produced after a stint at a Buddhist monastery.Meanwhile, the collection's knits and tailored pieces were nicely done, if unexciting. Chung's most interesting idea, literalizing the Butoh reference, was to create jackets and coats that looked like two overlapping garments. There was also a nice color story on the runway today: The tonal combinations of pale pink and shades of brown and eggplant looked particularly fresh. The one really off element was the laser cutting on several pieces: It's a technique Chung has used to good effect in the past, but it may have run its course.
