Kimberly Ovitz Spring 2013
The Clothes: Kimberly Ovitz’s strong, whimsical vision for spring is a departure from last season’s darker collection, but still suggests the same confident woman.

Kimberly Ovitz Fall 2012: Inspired by Warriors
Backstage before the show, designer Kimberly Ovitz warned us this collection would be “a lot darker” than past seasons, and indeed it was: The collection was almost entirely all-black, with a few grey, olive and brown looks thrown in for good measure.

It’s hard to say whether or not the clothing conveyed such intangible attributes, but we will say that the belts and necklaces made out of what looked like human hair did seem to send the message: “Don’t fuck with me or I’ll scalp you.”
