Richard Tyler

Tyler
   Silk organza, brushed cotton and quilted leather were just a few of the fabrications presented in the spring ’04 collection of Tyler by Richard Tyler. All the press, stress and general chaos were more than matched by the creative juices.
   The evening began with the lights up and Outkast’s ‘Hey Ya’ echoing through the room. Celebrities were lining the runways and the TV crews couldn’t get enough. I was sitting next to RTW and couture designer Joseph Domingo, and we were discussing the buzz in the air. The buzz set the tone for this youthful line, of hip LA-cruising 20-somethings and their pocket-books.
   A denim zip-front jacket with silk chiffon polka-dot gathered bust top and denim hot short were sophisticated and flirty, with a retro quality to the design. A tailored display of chevron print suede paired with a denim double-faced print pant added a touch of class to the age group. For the men, Tyler stuck to basics with a twist, perforated leather zipper front pin tuck jacket, and jeans had a comfortable but very "metrosexual" look for today’s constructed times.

Richard Tyler Couture
   Richard Tyler Couture was an extravagant and beautiful display of endless hours of time and patience. Tyler Couture marvelled in the art, and showed the diversity and lengths that Richard Tyler could reach. Chiffon was the fabric of the night: everything from asymmetrical tops to strapless panel dresses was made in chiffon.
   A silk organza trench dress was romantic and sweet, while a silk organza portrait collar suit was the epitome of the cocktail party.
