Roving Reporter: Abaete

Oui oui, Fash Pack friends, Laura Poretzky has gone back to her birth country, basing her latest collection on post-revolutionary France. She treated audiences to plenty of ruffles, a gold chain here and there, and more royal crests than a runway has ever seen. (This should be in Poretzky’s blood, as her own company logo is the Portuguese crest her great-great gramps earned as a Brazilian abolitionist and presidential right-hand man.)

Poretzky kept up with ubiquitous asymmetry in regally tiered blouses and partially metallic one-sleeved tops.
