Max Azria’s namesake collection was full of sexy draping. Dresses hung from one shoulder and fell over or under the mesh belts as if they — not the designer — had decided which way to go. Harem pants were present, as were supple leather jackets that lent an air of polish. The backs of several dresses were open, either in full or in dramatic, diagonal slits. Flat knits had form-fitting cuts; few beige cotton sweaters ever looked so attractive. Several hemlines and necklines were asymmetrical, but one dress kept to a more traditional shape: An ink-blue gown in silk georgette had three-quarter sleeves and a hem that swept the floor with beautiful strokes.
