Dear starlets of the world unafraid to explore your midnight sexy sides?Kevork Kiledjian has more than a little something for you; he's got an entire Fall 2011 collection of skin-tight leather minidresses, sheer blouses that project rocker swagger, sequined numbers that ooze Parisian eroticism and a jumpsuit that has Rihanna's name all over it.
This may be Kiledjian's first runway under his own name (he formerly headed the short-lived Guilty Brotherhood label), but already the likes of Julia Restoin-Roitfeld, Leigh Lezark, Fabiola Beracasa, Tallulah Harlech and more have parked themselves in the front row, pouring themselves into Kiledjian's slick designs for the cameras.
The hype was high for a designer barely known and the pressure must have been intense in the final few moments before his the Mugler-esque skirts, purple furs and shifts slit-up-to-there walked. Nonetheless, when the shimmering black, seductively fringed dress emerged (see Photo 5 above), there likely wasn't a girl (or perhaps even a guy) in the audience who didn't imagine it on themselves; that's the effect that overtly sexy clothing can have, you know? Fantasizing. It happens. And we'll keep fantasizing about seeing more *wink*.
