There are very few shows I see that make me think “wow, I need to write about that NOW.” But as soon as I saw the first look with the golden “broom” and whimsical, oversized witch hat, I was hooked.
I’ve been following Ryan Lo since 2014, when I stumbled across another one of his sugary, pink, fluffy and downright adorable collections. And, although I haven’t seen his last few collections (oops), I can confidently say that he’s only gotten better with time.
In his newest collection, Ryan Lo tackled the classic story of love… and witches. A magical combination of pastel princesses, knights and vibrant, cone-capped witches slowly made their way down the runway, giving onlookers enough time to appreciate each look in all their glorious, saccharine-sweet details.
We were treated to flowing gowns in retro-inspired floral prints, decadent loose-knit tops, dreamy hats and plenty of ruffles, bows, scallops and sheer layers to go around. Each dress was paired with a pair of boots or a pair of girly pumps with socks- eschewing the overwhelming trend in the past few seasons of pairing dresses with sneakers.
For Lo, and his aptly named “Saturn Returns” collection, it was all about love and happy endings. In fact, the bride (the last look of the show) was escorted down the runway by a literal knight in shining armor- what could be more romantic and dreamy than that? This collection, in all of its fantastical glory, succeeded in giving us all the happy ending we desired- one in which we can revel in collections like this and dream of a life where we might wear these very dresses and find our own knights in shining armor.
