Easily one of the most popular hits of BC Fashion Week was the final showing on Saturday September 29th for Evan & Dean, named after the nephews of design duo Raymond Boutet and Lyle Reimer. Structured garments for Spring ’08 emphasized the most voluptuous lady parts: shoulders and hips were beefed up to the max, with intricate folds and volume defining nearly every piece. Metallic golds, sexy sheer fabrics and beady headpieces worked their way into the collection as well, while the rest of the color palette stuck mainly with subdued earth tones. Again we saw the high-waisted skirt and special attention to accentuating the hips – clearly a lasting trend into the next Spring season. Certainly one of their less commercial productions, the newest Evan & Dean line was both reminiscent of classic style and futuristic costuming.
