Toni Maticevski Spring 2010NEW YORK, Sep 14, 2009 / FW/ — Fresh from being named Designer of the Year at the 2009 Design Awards and gracing Cannes last May when actress Abbie Cornish chose to wear one of his creations on the red carpet, Toni Maticevski proposed ethereal glam for Spring 2010 sending dresses and gowns that are so fragile and delicate.

Sweet without being saccharine, the collection is almost all eveningwear, which is not surprising since Toni Maticevski has always been successful in creating unforgettable cocktail dresses and gowns.

And though Toni is just one of the many in this overcrowded fashion genre, he stands out because of his tailoring skills and unique vision.

Case in point, the collection is ethereal, even fragile; yet Toni added texture to make it 3D by using layers of ruffles, thus the clothes kept it delicate feel.

This may already sound like a cliché since red carpet dressing has become a sport; it will not be surprising to see a Maticevski creation during the awards season early next year.

Red carpet aside, the more important thing is that with this collection, Toni Maticevski continues to satisfy his clientele and also attract new ones.
