Tinsley Mortimer, Robert Verdi, Carson Kressley and others from the fashion community, donated their energy (literally) at the Duracell Smart Power Lab last week in NYC.

The company is using people power to illuminate the 2011 numerals in Times Square. Just visit one of their labs, hop aboard a Power Rover and start pedaling. With each push of the pedal, human energy is captured, converted and stored. The journey will end on January 1st when the stored power will light up the “2011″ sign as the New Year’s Eve Ball drops and the clock strikes midnight.
Johnny Weir, Veronica Webb, Glenda Bailey (Editor-in-Chief, Harper’s Bazaar), and style expert Robert Verdi watched front row as Isaac Mizrahi’s Spring/Summer 2011 collection came up roses, intentionally faded roses.
Before the show, Isaac summed up his inspiration with a juxtaposition – “floaty, lacey meets Xerox.” Favoring the classic flower in his core prints, the effect on the garments was that of an aged ditto. Generous beading, touches of tulle and deep back-slits kept the evening pieces glamorous
Isaac’s two big must-haves for the warmer season? Cuffs for the wrists, and “tulle puffs” for everywhere else!

Aisha Tyler, Dania Ramirez (Entourage), Angela Simmons and style expert Robert Verdi all rolled in for a front row look at Tracy Reese’s Spring/Summer collection.
Backstage, the buzz was a “mellow nod” to the 70s, with an emphasis on travel-inspired, non-fussy materials and fits. What came down the runway was jet-set throwback, indeed!
Be it a long, gauzy white sundress or a silk shirt dress, an airy top over pleated shorts or a knit poncho over fitted pants, we saw ensembles to transition from day to night, and from city sidewalk to sandy resort. True to vibe, floppy hats and shades paired well with every look, proving “fun and relaxed” can be done without sacrificing a jot of chic.
