The embroidered designs are intricate and symmetrical, with central circles marking the chest, abdomen, and bust accentuating the female form and capturing the viewer's attention. The sheers are so fine as to create the illusion of biological origin, transforming the model into a new and mystical creature. And the wrap-around sarongs are lush and large, with bold prints and contrasting use of lines and glitter. Randolph Duke Spring 2000 is clearly one of the most spectacular creations this year. Donna Karan presents a silk chiffon wrap-around dress in swirling pink and tan that hangs squarely from the shoulders with open chest to create a Venus look.
Colors range from yellow-green to lavender, with paisley and floral prints.
Clements Robeiro presents a beige silk chiffon knee-length dress with chocolate sequins. And Yves Saint Laurent dazzles with snakeskin coats to round out the elegant wardrobe.
