Michael de Paulo was behind the designs of two shows in the same night this Boston Fashion Week. He collaborated with Tonya Mezrich for Mike & Ton, a unique line that is sleek and wearable, plus he created his couture collection. Both collections were very different. Mike & Ton's was a line-up of day-to-night separates and asymmetric dresses, while the Michael de Paulo collection consisted of elegant gowns inspired by the French Rivera.
The metallics, silk, and wool used in the Mike & Ton show combined with structured sleeves and draped bodices made every look stunning, yet relatable to the audience. The thought in everyone's mind was that each look could have effortlessly walked off the runway and straight onto the streets of Boston. With one glance around the room, it was apparent that every woman there was thinking, “Wow, that’s so me!” or “I could definitely see myself wearing that!” as the outfits walked by. The showstopper of the collection was a tri-color pocket dress with blue and orange color-blocking, two colors that dominated the show.
The Michael de Paulo show began with a harp solo, followed by a white satin and chiffon cocktail dress that set the mood of elegance and sophistication. Each gown had exquisite detailing and bold coloring. My favorite was the blue pleated ball gown that was one-shouldered and adorned with a chiffon flower on the strap. With so many different styles, there was a dress for every woman, whether she likes a simple evening dress or a decorative princess gown.
