They say it may be his “best collection yet” and we agree! The Master Marc Jacobs had his models –fresh out of a cardboard box and onto the runway strutting to “Somewhere Over the Rainbow” tunes. Starting with a very menswear inspired theme, the collection quickly turned feminine with daisy print gowns, sheer chiffon frocks, and metallics. Surprisingly no celebs in sight, just A-list Editors that were memorized afterwards!
Husband and wife team, Andy and Debb’s Fall 2010 collection was filled with mouth-watering delights; beautifully tailored jackets, pants, chiffon blouses and silk shifts.
Our favs: a tuxedo jumpsuit and Edwardian ruffle-collar dresses and blouses.
Former Oscar de la Renta Publicist, turned amazing A-list Designer, Adam Lippes, showed a beautiful, feminine, yet sporty collection for Fall 2010. And there were no signs of Spring here–he was all about Fall with textured knits, oversized cable cropped sweaters, and shearling jackets. But this sporty gal gets glamorous with some very sexy dresses with exotic prints and embellishments.
Inspired by a 70’s Parisian attitude and an urban New York City girl, Rebecca Taylor’s Fall 2010 collection mixed classic sportswear with feminine designs. Grays, blacks and neutrals mixed with military greens and gold.
Celebs in the front row: Michelle Tracetenberg, Mena Suvari and fiance, Sophia Bush, Carmen Electra,Alexis Dziena,Kristen Bell, Whitney Port, and Olivia Palermo.
