Ive been going to the museum since I was in grade two, he said.
When you go there, its a reason to be outand to look great.
That led into the collection itself.
Pickersgills evening attire is certainly meant to get you noticed.
A bright magenta gown came with a matching ruffled shoulder cap, which is removable.
Our client has been requesting capes, said Pickersgill.
They want something to cover themselves over the shoulders, for weddings or church.
A gold sequin column gown also had black ruffles wrapped around it, like a fabulous snake.
For Pickersgill, ruffles are considered neutral.
Ruffles are my thingI just adore a good ruffle, he said.
The designer also attempted to innovate on expected evening textiles.
He developed a new gold sequin that resembles chain mailits a flat sequin, he said.
It felt particularly fresh on the streamlined tee and trouser pairing.
Pickersgill also created a sleeveless hybrid gown, which had a black lace applique over sequins.
Its a continuation of a conversation that I never want to end, said Pickersgill.
