This Autumn-Winter 2010 season, plus-size designer Anna Scholz’s White Label collection conveys the elegant vampiness of a vintage screen siren with gorgeous gowns in luxurious fabrics, fine embellishments and retro-inspired prints and silhouettes.
Anna’s latest White Label pieces sparkle with luxe vintage-inspired details and sophisticated sex appeal. Split beaded sleeves, lowered sequined necklines, off-the-shoulder draping and curve-skimming pleat and ruching details create the right amount of come-hither reveal-and-conceal.
Long gowns in luxurious fabrics are a hallmark of this season’s White Label collection and also evoke bygone Hollywood glamour. The crepe jersey cross over maxi dress in a rich berry two panels of gathered crepe jersey which cross over at the front and back of the dress from the shoulder down to below the hip. The gathers create a stunning, slinky look which plays up curves without clinging.
Anna’s double silk dresses also sweep and create elegant, elongated silhouettes. The red carpet maxi dress in a smoking flame-hued hand-painted leopard print creates a slinky, bombshell effect that is also smoothing. A gorgeous series of pleats meet from the front and back at the side seam along the right hip, creating a truly unique and elegant draping effect across the body. The lower half of the dress sweeps into a slight fishtail.This clever system of gathers and drapes avoids clinginess to the hips and belly.
The filmy silk georgette split sleeve maxi in smoky grey hand-painted leopard print evokes 1920s glamour with its beaded, sheer split handkerchief sleeves, its beaded V-neckline and its elegant sweep of skirt from the empire waist.

I love that firey leopard print of the first one! Love it! That pattern also comes in another style dress and a top.
Great to see something stylish in plus sizes!
