Preen

(NEW YORK) It probably takes a model to carry Preen's panels of thick silk padding positioned most ironically on the hips, thighs and bellies of their Japanese bondage concept pieces. But then again it's what models are for. Back to earth, Justin Thornton and Thea Bregazzi, brought their Londoner sensibilities to a glorious metallic pant and a playful menswear-meets-Victorian lace look that was beyond sexy and savvy. For dessert they sent down the runway a sorbet-colored, bow-tied jumpsuit.
