The Wet Look

It began for CC with Jean Paul Gaultier's Spring 2008 show, where both the models and their attire appeared drenched! Recall the seemingly sopping runway, pictured at right.
Whether achieved with leather, plastic, silk, polyurethane, patent, sequins, or polyester, fabrics were made to look, well . . . moist!
Balenciaga's coats for fall are SLICK!

The slippery silver bodice of this Balmain drop waist dress could douse the flames of its fiery pleated skirt!

Versace strapless dress

Alberta Ferretti shiny tank dress

Thakoon puffed cap sleeve frock and gloves

Givenchy jacket

Ruffian belted coat

Temperley London leather pants

It is perhaps most appropriate to channel the wet look via raingear!

How cute is this Maria Lizaso mod raincoat with Peter Pan collar?

CC also highly recommends a fabulously shiny pair of Loeffler Randall Matilde flat wedge patent boots (below left).

Anlo's Willa straight leg jean is treated with polyure-thane for a slick, leather-like appear-ance. Both at shopbop.com.
