Contemporary label Sachin & Babi relaunches under Sachin & Babi Noir, with a focus on eveningwear. The new Noir line is now the company’s only line. And for pre-fall 2016, the brand adds a dramatic latin flair expressed through bright colors, hand-painted florals, appliqués and embroideries drawn from the flower crowns Frida Kahlo wore.

The flirty, youthful separates — ruffled, one-shoulder blouses and silk evening tops with exaggerated bows — play on a matador theme.

The highlight this season is the light silk jacquard and floral-printed fil coupé gowns cut in off-the-shoulder silhouettes.
