Her early work was predominantly focused on the idea of the masculine tailored silhouette on the feminime body. Anne's palette was predominantly black and white. In many ways, she has covered the main themes of this season many-many times before. So it was interesting to see her personal offering for spring.
In her collection entitled Electric Nude, the masculine was nowhere to be found. Layers of organza, chiffon, and tulle exaggerated the notion of the feminine in the looks, where underwear could be glimpsed through the limpid iridescent fabrics, and trousers featured transparent panels inset on the side of the leg, stretching from top to bottom. There was also a vibrant, iridescent print that owed something to the idea of the insect or the aquatic. All of these things had their charms.
Anne Valerie Hash had once experimented with silhouette in such deft way, for instance making a collection based on menswear on a little girl - a pattern - cutting feat if ever there was one. Hopefully she will eschew this default French cool take on the silhouette next season.
