Susan Lucci Struts on the Runway for Dennis Basso's NYFW Spring/Summer 2025 Collection
Award-winning actress and icon Susan Lucci graced the runway in a couture gown designed especially for her by Dennis Basso. The New York designer told us his latest collection, 'Age of Possibility,' was inspired by generational dressing. Basso believes fashion transcends age and is no longer bound by numbers. At 77 years old, Lucci was perfect to personify this message. The beauty told us she had never walked the runway but was flattered to do so when Basso asked her. The age-inclusive line was created with fabrics that sing with Spring-Summer energy. They include light tweed, timeless chiffon, double-faced satin, embroidered lace, silk jacquard, and elegant, printed silk gazar. Man-tailored fitted jackets, both single and double-breasted, mix with straight-leg trousers, wide-leg hostess pants, and the elegant modern-day pantsuit. Pleated chiffon cocktail dresses and gowns carry the spirit into evening. Faux fur cropped jackets ward off the chill of dusk, or opt for hand-cut 'petal ruffle boleros.' A color palette of pale mint, sky blue, coral, and cream, with touches of gold, silver, and caviar sequins, finishes the evening looks with a touch of whimsy and classic glamour. A variety of designs from the Dennis by Dennis Basso collection will also be available on QVC Spring/Summer 2025 to celebrate fashion for women of all ages--and those who know Dennis know he adores all women and revels in their endless possibilities.
