On Thursday, Area designers Beckett Fogg and Piotrek Panszczyk released the kind of unexpected and daring collection, made up of sequin-adorned suits, crystal bustiers, and accordion-like dresses, that this season’s couture week was missing. Sure, there were big productions and names, and even bigger gowns — not to mention horses used at not one, but two shows, at Dior and Chanel — but, there hasn’t been a lot of playfulness. Nor has there been a lot of size diversity.
