Max Azria Fall 2009 Runway Show Fall Fashion Week 2009 -An Advice Sisters Feature

   *text and photographs by Alison Blackman Dunham

 

 

I love Max Azria's form fitting bondage dresses, even though they're impossible body conscious and not the easiest for every woman to wear successfully. But that's part of the point...you've got to be earn the body if you want to wear the clothes. 

 

 

For Fall 2009, Max Azria offered a bit of a reprieve from bondage, with short dresses featuring plenty of skin and shiny tights worn with tough-looking, stiletto ankle and knee-high boots.  

Like the dimly-lighted runway, the colors in this collection were extremely subdued--a departure from the bright, optimistic pops of color seen in so many collections for Fall 2009. But Max Azria's line is chic and somewhat avant-garde, so it wasn't surprising that the palette remained dark.  There was some color.  Other than black and grey, the designer included winter white, goldenrod, purple, and blue.  Eveningwear was also subdued, the embellishment tended to be more lace than beads, but some had a bit of sparkle.

I like the elegant, drape-y styles that still had sex appeal by showing lots of leg, thanks to plenty of asymmetrical hems.
