We stay at the Bryant Park Tents for one of the most celebrated evening gown designers: Monique Lhuillier. The look was ‘china doll,’ with a porcelain, glowing face, a shiny nude eye, a bright matte velvet red lip, hair pulled up tight and in a nest of small braids…and nails were molten liquid fire in Rouge Red.

Our first show featured true ‘Royalty’ of fashion. Carolina Herrera dresses the most tasteful of women who lunch and attend charity events in the most glamorous locations. She is known for the big sleeve, beautiful furs, taffeta and hand-crafted embroidery. She went back to her roots this season with ultra luxurious painterly prints and floral embroideries, mixed with mink details and tons of sable. MORE
Herve Leger, the designer known for the bandage dress made famous by Elizabeth Hurley and Hollywood bodies perfected by hours of pilates, knows the women they dress. Toned, healthy, thin and born in heels…towering higher and higher with every season! This woman wakes up perfect…minimal make-up required, a smear of bright red lips and a swab of golden SolarOil over PERFECTLY clean and freshly satin-washed nails with Super Matte Top Coat …for fingers as long as legs in the highest stilettos.

How much do we love Diego Binetti??? He’s a lovely, thoughtful artist, who practices his art with care and honor. Each beautifully handcrafted piece was made for royalty and fussed to the detail. The models effortlessly floated down the runway. Each elegant piece was finely beaded and embroidered, each accessory hand-crafted and priceless. The nails were breathtaking: rich ebony almonds encrusted with chunks of rubies, emeralds and amethysts MORE
On to Behnaz Sarafphor, who also had a presentation-style show, where models were dressed for a mock photo shoot in a Manhattan studio. The show was intimate and styled for a big city close-up!! MORE
