Follow the Swarovski Clad Jimmy Choos, Manolos and Louboutins down the yellow brick road in the tents at Bryant Park last week and you may have just gotten a glimpse of the Land of Oz. This display was in honor of the 70th anniversary of The Wizard of Oz and only a privileged few were allowed behind the velvet ropes to actually view the magic and here is what they saw…
Floral prints and color were everywhere from day to evening. Pin-tucking and pleating details, ruffles, bows, one shoulder gowns, evening coats, belted gowns, ombre, lace, cut-outs, architectural lines, illusion of cut-outs with mesh, ikat and photograph prints, ribbon detailing, pencil and full skirts and every length of cardigan imaginable….
Statement Jewelry Pieces added glamour, personality and excitement to even the simplest daytime outfit.
Jason Wu, Christian Siriano, Christian Cota, Derek Lam and Philip Lim combined their attention to beauty and detail with their fresh outlook.
Natural make up, natural hair (for the runway that is) and high, square heeled shoes with open toes, zippers and straps added excitement and accented every look. Take note ladies, handbags are not just to carry your lipstick and Blackberry anymore – they are jewelry in their own right. Carlos Falcci, Devi Kroell, and Sang A are among the favorites.
Click your heals three times and the week is over but September ’08 Mercedes Benz Fashion Week proved that on the other side of the rainbow--- dreams do come true….There’s no place like home, no place like Bryant Park….
