Sophie Theallet’s show was the show to see today.  It received great reviews from the fashion community, and it was well deserved.  The collection was African Inspired with beautiful prints and fabrics.  The pieces are beautiful and simply, it’s easy to slip into and feel chic.  The collection is effortless.  What mad this runway show stand out were the prints and sherbert solids in tangerine and grape.  Those colors are perfect for spring, they also sound very delicious.  There was an array of choices, the collection understood that sometimes a woman may feel like wearing something in print, bold or just simple an elegant.  We are offered a choice.  Thank goodness for variety.

Rachel Roy- Fashion's Night Out

Beautiful, gracious and kind, these are the words I would use to describe fashion designer Rachel Roy.  She came out last night to lend her support to Fashion’s Night Out at Macy’s in Herald Square.  Ms. Roy’s new lower priced line, Rachel Rachel Roy was on display.  There were several models on a stage showcasing the new affordable line.  The designer was surrounded by customers and fans wanting to get a glimpse, or to take her photograph.  She was wearing a belted one shoulder print top and black leggings from her high-end Rachel Roy collection.  Rachel was very friendly and relaxed considering that the Rachel Roy collection is scheduled to show on Sunday; I’m looking forward to seeing it.

Michelle Ava Gardner- New York Fashion Week Spring 2010

Today marks the start of New York Fashion Week Spring 2010, and it was a major success.  The success is mainly because of Fashion’s Night Out; the star power was enormous.  I saw designers Michael Kors and Rachel Roy at Macy’s.  Debra Messing was also at Macy’s in Herald Square.  Many other celebrities came out this evening in support of the fashion industry.  Anna Wintour personally visited several stores including DVF, Dior, Sean Jean among several others.  Ms. Wintour was the force behind Fashion’s Night Out, and she proves once again that she is ‘Anna the Great’.  Other celebrities who made it out tonight were Hugh Jackman, Rihanna, Blake Lively, Ashley and Mary Kate Olsen, and many more.  The stores and streets were very busy, and the customers were really enjoying the festive atmosphere.  Congratulations to all involved; this will prove to be an unforgettable New York Fashion Week.
