Using sensual cutouts and texture contrasts, Erin Barr is setting a new fashion standard for the working woman in this spring/summer collection.
Keeping the looks very feminine with a lot of structure, Erin Barr seductively taps into feminine strength while maintaining a subtle sensuality. Using a color palette that includes a rich, vampy red, and the neutrals of white and black, Barr’s tailored silhouettes appropriately showcase her design aesthetic. This collection is successful because Barr demonstrates that a working woman’s sense of fashion does not have to take a second seat to looking sophisticated and professional in the office or in corporate settings.
The sheer fabric with tough leather gives a very woman-in-charge vibe, while form-fitting dresses give a touch of elegance. Zippered embellished tops complimented the embroidered skirts with added details such as pleats and leather block-outs. While printed stripes gave classic silhouettes a new fashion-forward approach. In this collection Erin Barr successfully confirms that sometimes less is more, and that simplicity, sophistication and edge do not have to be polar opposites.
When looking professional, women don’t want to lose sight of their femininity with garments that are dour and fussy. Erin Barr has showed in this collection that it is possible to be feminine, strong, and beautiful all at the same time.
