If you’re a fan of the Lifetime hit show “Project Runway,” you will recognize the name of designer Michael Costello. He is the funny, amazingly self-taught designer from season 8, who will also be featured in the soon to air Project Runway All-Star2012, that I can’t wait to watch. Recently, Regard Magazine got to shoot some of Michael’s new designs, and I was really inspired by them. His use of dark colored furs and sequins in simple but elegant design is super chic and I loooooove the idea of all black. Worn by the beautiful the Beau Dunn, Michael Costello Couture gownare stunning.
Wearing a LBD or a black gown is one thing, but wearing black all over can sometimes be a bit morbid in appearance, but there is a way. Using different textures and tonal patterns can make an all-black outfit lush and cool looking. Be sure to add luxurious fabrics like faux furs, sequins, and a pop of color, if you like, for the shoe or bag. Or, go for it and try black from head to toe! Have Fun!
