Hot on the Stage
What’s hot in pageantry this season? Johnathan mentioned silk and velvet fabrics, capped sleeves, low backs, fitted to the knee mermaid styles that have a more romantic inspiration along with lace and jeweled necklines. Although Red Carpet and Pageant Gowns are not always synonymous, some designs have crossover elements and are more prevalent. 33% is “Red Carpet,” glam, 33% is pageant, and 33% is a crossover gown, with the typical accent of AB crystals, a mesh between Red Carpet and pageant styles.
Red Carpet looks take fashion risks but are still gorgeous gowns. According to Johnathan Kayne, pageantry is leaning toward a Red Carpet feel and even the “Great Gatsby” has been a huge inspiration. In his 7th year since debuting his shoe line, Johnathan Kayne is launching a fall collection in addition to his spring line. His brand is expanding and he is launching a little-girl’s version of the “Austria “shoe for ages 4-11. Color will also be added into the collection for every day wear as opposed to just formals.
