Araks Yeramyan bought the The Color of Pomegranates DVD as a present for her Armenian grandmother, but it never made it into the gift bag, and now it s the only thing her two young children will watch at home (those kids must have sophisticated taste in cinema). The revolutionary 1968 film, which gives a surreal portrait of the poet Sayat Nova s life during the eighteenth century, was the inspiration for the Araks Fall collection. That s a pretty specific vision, but Yeramyan interpreted it loosely in color and texture. Pomegranate came in a range of shades, with burgundy at one end of the spectrum and hot pink at the other. A sheer chiffon skirt in a deep stain with a wool peplum was paired with crocheted lace worn over a crisp button-up. Other highlights included a mink pullover that wears like a sweatshirt, and a pleated leather skirt with ombré organza inserts. Yeramyan was at her best when she wielded transparent fabrics, highlighting the lingerie she built her brand on.
