As I mentioned on Monday, Avsh Alom Gur, a former designer for Donna Karan and Nicole Farhi, has taken the creative helm at Ossie Clark, and his first show was totally worth the hype. It was the modernized references that he made to the original designer's work I loved most. Take this maxi dress, which has all the glamour of one of Clark's own designs from the '70s, but Gur narrowed the silhouette, did it in a very soft silk, and added a plunging V-neck that makes it kind of Studio 54-sexy. I'm a huge Clark fan—I started collecting his dresses a while back—and I would scoop this one up in a second, too.
