Leila Shams’ sexy dresses, with their sharp cuts and their smooth silhouettes, have become somewhat of a trademark for the young and promising New York-based designer. Since her eponymous label’s debut collection in the Spring of 2010, Shams has worked to continually refine her designs while still maintaining her iconic look. Now, for her Fall 2011 collection, called Shell Shock, Shams presents looks that are noticeably more mature and complex.
Just like in her Spring, the designer’s Fall collection uses bold and sometimes busy prints in combination with opaque and draped fabrics, and it’s this heavy-handed palette and the light fluidity of the fabric creates a look is both thoughtful and sexy.
