In an apparent about-face from last season’s sportif, Doo-Ri Chung copped a glam rock attitude for fall. Not only did the mood swing suit Chung’s jerseys, now darkly romantic as dresses, in deep purple, black and mercury, and some gently ruffled at the collar, but it made for a smooth segue into other motifs. Her draping, twisting and tucking skills were expertly applied to structured silk cocktail dresses, undulating embroidery on a gray coat and a vest embellished with twisted zippers. Furs — a silver fox cardigan or jagged-edge shrug — added instant edge and sex appeal when thrown over terrific tailored pants and a draped blouse. Indeed, this was a cooler, darker side of Doo.Ri, one the designer further indulged in the extras. Those bedazzled lace stockings, for example, almost stole the show.
