For ten years, Cushnie et Ochs was the go-to label for twenty or thirty-something women to buy their bodycon cocktail dresses from. They specialized in appreciating the female form while giving her a powerful style. But Resort 2019 marks the final collection of the duo brand as Michelle Ochs has planned to leave the company, granting Carly Cushnie full creative control. For her first unofficial season as a solo designer, Cushnie embraced the silhouettes she and Ochs established in the past but added some new techniques that may foreshadow her label’s future style. These include incorporating fringe in some looks and the usage of an ombre color effect, which looked particularly striking on a draped evening dress. From such a confident outing, it looks like Cushnie is well on her way to carving out a new identity for herself within the fashion sphere.
