FASHIONWIDGET’S VERDICT: This collection is very Elvira-meets-the-21st-century. It’s very edgy, the fact that every piece featured in this collection is all-black makes me actually pay attention to the details involved with each design. I love the finger gloves, the soft leather versus shiny leather, metallic nail polish and frills among other trends. I definitely see myself wearing a lot of articles from this collection.

…when in doubt wear black right and judging from the very many fashion shows singer Ciara has attended within the past week, any respectable fashionista would have been just as flustered trying to keep it funky and fresh for the photographers and the blogosphere. However, so many black outfits (six at last count) had us wondering if Cici was playing too safe by packing so many ensembles in the same colour.
