"It takes a self-assured designer to create a dress that is little more than a well-chosen bit of luxurious fabric, a few seams and a keen eye for proportion. And it will take a particular kind of woman - one confident in her own charms and charisma - to wear a dress that promises no magic, no voodoo, no stylistic sleight of hand. These are clothes that allow the woman to be the star. They promise only to support her in that endeavour. They will not speak for her; they will not camouflage her insecurities; they will not serve as protective armour." - Robin Givhan
