Geometric shapes, asymmetric silhouettes, and a hint of sexy is what Cindy Monteiro’s looks embodied. The clean crisp fabrics in neutral shades of white, tan and black with just a just a touch of sparkle made for eye-catching pieces that you must have! This is the designer’s first time showing at New York Fashion Week and she brought some of her Cape Verdean (is that a word?) essence to the show.
Though the designs were bold the colors and fabric choices gave it some simplicity. There were many intricate details and placement of beading and the use of burlap was genius! It gave the nature inspired designs life. This is something that more and more designers are doing these days, utilizing natural fibers. Monteiro’s Spring/Summer 2018 debut collection was a success! It showed the softness and the strength of a woman.
