FASHIONWEEK Spring 2008: Threeasfour Indie Goddesses Glide Through Life in a Vision of Organza & Grecian Draping. FASHIONTRIBES FASHION BLOG

Summary: All too often, "indie fashion" is a euphemism for bizarre student experiments in the sartorial outer limits rather than interesting and independent design. Forturnatly threeasfour falls into the latter camp - although as CFDA/Vogue Fashion Fund finalists, Ange, Adi & Gabi's indie status is definitely endangered. They showed effortlessly glam one-shouldered dresses in silk wool chiffon, layered organza tops, a sheer silk organza blouse & gown sprouting a carpet of same-fabric tulle rosettes, and a metallic cotton rayon trenchcoat that demonstrate how to pull off volume with style...instead of volume. (Be sure to check out our exclusive backstage video interview with Hirofumi Kera of the Shiseido hair styling team at Moli.com, discussing why your spring coiffure should be elaborate, include pastels & possibly match your eyeshadow.)
