Randolph Duke Spring/Summer 2008 Los Angeles

Randolph Duke’s designer gowns have been seen on the likes of Hillary Swank and Marcia Gay Harden during the Oscars and it’s a safe bet that we will see them there again this year. These are some of the most beautiful and elegant gowns that I have seen yet this year. His show was titled “The Living Earth” and held motifs of ferns, palmettos, cacti, and lotus blossoms on many of the designs. It was very clear that his gowns were designed for glorious moments in the spotlight, as you can see from the photos. I won’t be a bit surprised to see these beautiful designs again on the red carpet somewhere down the road.
