ACIDITY LEVEL AT CHRISTOPHER KANE

Besides being the creative director of Versus, Christopher Kane also excels with his own line. He is one of the most talented designers of our time. For Spring 2011, he presented a modern, futuristic, tribal, and ACID colored dresses on the runway. Think about Blade Runner and Princess Margaret morphed into one BEING.

Shades of bright green, orange, pink, and yellow shined throughout the series of AMAZING and wearable clothes. The perforated leather he incorporated into his garments seemed like fluorescent lace that have the effect of PLEATHER.

Christopher Kane showcased a collection that all his fans will covet. Indeed, this is the gateway to the future of fashion. BRAVO!!!

REFRESHING COLLECTION-MARY KATRANTZOU

Today is a very busy day for me. I have so many things on my plate. Every morning, I have the habit of going to style.com and look at the latest collections. The British designers are talented and innovative. Mary Katrantzou is one of them. My client is a big fan of her work.

Her collection made me smile to the stratosphere. Inspired by the interiors of vintage Architectural digest, she used these images and transformed them into picture perfect garments. She worked in dimensions to get the effect of her vision for this collection. The clothes may have simple silhouettes, but this took her a long process to match the seams.

I am glad that she used color. Indeed, she showcased a refreshing collection.

THE BEST COLLECTION OF NEW YORK FASHION WEEK!!!

ALTUZARRA designer Joseph Altuzarra delivered a STRONG Spring 2011 Collection. His models were strutting on the runway feeling the sexiness of his clothes. The first section of the collection was done in white. I love the PYTHON jacket over a white ensemble... AMAZING. Then, the second half of the collection was done in BLUE and BLACK. There were so many details on the clothing. There were hints of Claude Montana and Tom Ford throughout the show. The silhouette is tight to the body.

Shades of neon orange, green, and yellow accessories added color to the BLACK and BLUE looks. The last dress was simply divine. Appliqued python were sewn onto the black jersey dress. A woman with confidence can wear his clothes. I wouldn't be surprised if he snags the CFDA/Vogue Fund Award this year. He is so talented.

For me, it is the best collection I've seen in New York.

ANGEL'S TOUCH!!!

This is my second season working with Angel Sanchez. I love working with him and his amazing team because they are so easy to deal with... NO DRAMA. I have been using his clothes for my clients when they have fashion events to attend to. Tinsley, Yaz, and Katrina are BIG fans of Angel Sanchez. The collection he presented yesterday afternoon was young and edgy. I am glad that he is taking the risk of tapping into the younger crowd. He is a true couturier.

Shades of orange, blue, white, black, and beige were dominant in the collection.

I know this partnership will last for a LONG time.

SIMPLY HALSTON!!!

It is Mario Schwab's second season designing the high end line of Halston. The first collection was amazing. For Spring 2011, Mario decided to go back to the archives of the house. Well! He did a FANTASTIC JOB.

Shades of Red, Black, and Camel were the dominant colors through out the show. As soon as you enter the gallery, a beautiful beaded evening gown dress in black and beige greeted the spectators.

The presentation wouldn't be complete without Sarah Jessica Parker in the house.

I have to give Mario credit for being true to the heritage of Halston.
Simply the BEST!!!

AMAZING MARC!!!

Marc Jacobs' Spring 2011 fashion show is the hottest ticket in town. What I admire about Marc? He does not disappoint his fans in delivering a BEAUTIFUL and ETHEREAL collection.
Forget about the 50s and the 60s, let's move on to the 70s as a source of inspiration. Some of his pieces were referenced to the great designer Yves Saint Laurent. It does not matter. Every designer pays homage to his work for the past decades.

It is so refreshing to see an AMAZING collection like Marc Jacobs.

GLAMOUR IS MY MIDDLE NAME- TOM FORD!!!

Last night, Tom Ford invited top editors and celebrity friends to have a sneak peek of his first women's collection.
The presentation was held at his Madison Avenue boutique in New York. Guests were greeted by handsome ushers carrying huge TOM FORD umbrellas to escort them to the entrance.
Take note! No one was allowed to take pictures except for Terry Richardson (photographer and friend of Tom).

Beyonce Knowles, Lou Doillon, Julia Restoin Roitfeld, Julianne Moore, Daphne Guinness, Liya Kebede, Stella Tennant and Carolyn Murphy were among the few chosen people to walk for his FIRST women's debut collection. TOM FORD described every look that came out... COUTURE in the old days.

Rita Wilson was also present to cheer his long time friend. It was an intimate event.
