Badgley Mischka presents very romantic collection on V Day
The geniuses behind Badgley Mischka didn't choose to show their latest collection on Valentine's Day on purpose, but it was clearly the perfect date for the design duo to spotlight their incredibly romantic fashion sensibility.
The Fall 2017 collection, in particular, had a romantic, throwback feel with glitzy fringe, dramatic brocade, dazzling embellishments, and tulle.
In addition to bell sleeves, ladylike lace, sweetheart necklines, and a healthy dose of ruffles, the designs were also big on showcasing the feminine figure with body-hugging mermaid cuts, sheer overlays, and the brand's signature sky-high heels.

The romantic collection just happened to be shown on Valentine's Day
Neutrals got the luxe treatment with touchable fabrics and embellishements
Glitz and glam! This fringe showstopper had a whole lot of movement
Even black dresses had a romantic vibe with lace, off-the-shoulder necklines and bell sleeves
Sweetheart necklines were another swoonworthy detail
Brocade was a major element of the show and played up an old-school glamour
The designers also played up the romance by outfitting the models with oversized earrings. Stylist Peter Gray for Cutler/Redken gave the ladies bouncy waves, and Alice Lane use Inglot Cosmetics and Kate Burki Skincare to keep their make-up fresh and glowy.
But while the glamour of the ballgowns and slinky satin dresses packed a definite head-turning punch, Badgley Mischka also showed off a more low-key sportswear line during the show.
Guest were treated to a lounge-like showcase featuring models kicking back in cashmere, alpaca, and silk ensembles.
And even the home sets they relaxed and posed on — couches with shiny throw pillows, a bed with monogrammed accents, gilded furniture — were created by the designers.
