Mercedes Benz Fashion Week kicked off with a little fizz in NYC at Bryant Park. I was so excited to see so many of my early spring predictions come to life. But for the most part I was disappointed. I was not wowed!!!
The day began with an early showing from Michael Angel. The collection entailed a color scheme too dark for spring, but infused with soft fabrics; it works. He showcased the bell shape and feminine frills with rocker edge; as I predicted. Angel translated the "structured" trend of the curent fall season into a softer silhouette to enhance feminine curves. Although this showing did not make me think of a resort vacation break, for the most part, it reminded me of last year's Alexander McQueen Collection. It put me in the mood to be at an uptown Manhattan club siping on a martini. Would I rock the pieces in this collection? Damn right! I love it; just doesn't make me think "Springtime"...

Michael AngelI was eagerly anticipating the showing from BCBG Maxazria. To my surprise, I was somewhat disapointed. I've seen it all before from him. Draping, draping, draping. Just another way to drape. The collection was beautiful, but I've seen it last year. I wanted to see something exciting from Maxazria. Would I wear this collection? I already have! Been there, it's in my closet, done that. Sorry...
BCBG MaxazriaDavid Elfin presented his interpretation for Spring 2010 on the promenade. One word to describe this collection>>>androgynous!!! That's all; nothing more, nothing less...
David ElfinMy second highly anticipated collection was from Ports 1961. And she did the damn thing! Her collection embodied all that says resort time. It puts you in the mind of St. Tropez; south of France. Elegant daytime cafe dining to sexy evening get-togethers. Soft color tones, draping, mixing of textures(soft fabrics with adornments and leather belts); bell shapes, lady-like grandeur with unexpected pops; this collection had it all! Check out the video of the entire collection!
