With her glamorous gowns being seen on ABC’s The Bachelor, Randi Rham absolutely dazzles when it comes to couture. Her one of a kind designs have been seen on celebrities like Mariah Carrey, Billy Porter, Chita Rivera, and so many more. On Thursday, she unveiled her newest collection Let’s PlayVolume 1, at her gorgeous Manhattan Studio. The collection is nothing short of fun, with bright colorful accents and fabulous beaded trains.
Rham had incorporated zippers into many of the designs, which created an element of versatility. She showed us a dress on a model that had a long sheer train, and demonstrated that if the wearer had wanted to cover up for a more modest event, they can bring the train up to create a shawl. The practicality in the stunning garments are just one of the many things that makes Rham unique. “I do not consider myself a fashion designer, but an artist who performs her work through design,” Rahm says. “Fine art never goes out of style- it is a constant reflection of our ever-changing selves.” 
The showcase took place in her decked out, candy-land inspired studio. From the moment we exited the elevator, we were greeted with a candy-land style rainbow pathway leading to the door. Once inside, we saw endless bright colors and sparkles, candy memorabilia everywhere, and a giant display of clear plastic bubbles that had us feeling like we’d just stepped into the Wizard Of Oz. While we were there, the models were having a photoshoot so we could get a feel of what that was like. The collection was dazzling, with the studio color coordinated so that each colored piece was with its match. The dresses contained hand beading, beautiful silk, and so much more. The whole collection is based on childhood sweet treats, and we can’t get enough of its beauty.

The evening fashion shows had the crowd enraptured. Cesar Galindo stunned with boxy, black, edgy designs. Cutouts and metallics featured heavily, as well as a recurring metallic stripe pattern. Galaxy puffers really made an impression, and my favorite detail were the black strings hanging from the back of straps on dresses – leaving a purposeful yet effortless, unfinished look to the garments. Nicole Miller’s designs featured mini structured dresses, whimsical, sports-inspired americana prints, and geometric, kaleidoscope patterns with sequins.
