Toronto, ON – Toronto-based father-son design duo announced their return to the runway to present the CARAS, Stephan Caras Fall/Winter 2016 collection on Friday, March 18 at 7 p.m. at Toronto Fashion Week. Caras’ newest collection stays true to its philosophy of design, continually inspired by femininity and sensuality while offering an elegant and enticing exposé of dramatic lines, trailing lengths and plenty of volume.
The emphasis on this year’s collection is placed on daring cut outs, plunging neck lines, asymmetric treatments and defined lines. Criss-cross and knotting strap details wrap around and connect to create dramatic angular silhouettes. A bold colour palette is inspired by the seduction, drama and sparkle of the night.
“Our Fall/Winter 2016 collection is inspired by women who enjoy a touch of drama in their outfits, demonstrating their individuality and sensuality,” said designer Stephan Caras. “This bold collection is a fashion forward statement and an ode to the strength of confident women.”
“Our philosophy has always been to create collections that are feminine and sensual. For Fall/Winter 2016 we showcase an edgier look that emphasizes angles and sleek shapes to achieve a balance between elegance and drama,” added co-designer Kyriako Caras.
Signature CARAS gowns made of silk taffeta reign in a fluttering palette of floral undertones and luxurious sequin embroidery, while cocktail dresses, evening wear and jumpsuits parade transparent sequin knit, elegant embroidered taffetas, patent leather look, form fitting jerseys, flowing chiffons, guipure lace and tulles. Voluminous ball gowns, coupled with edgy defined lines, create drama and show that a woman can have fun, and be elegant and sensual all over again.
