RSSChristian Siriano Fall/Winter 2010 Collection Recap
A bevy of A-lister sat front row to preview Christian Siriano’s latest collection the 2010 Ready-to-Wear Fall/Winter. Celebrity spotted waiting patiently – Kat Deluna, Veronica Webb, Mena Suvari, DJ Leigh Lezark and Amber Rose but faithful readers may her as Kanye West future ex-wife.
The collection which he described as “very dark, mysterious, and a bit of a ’60s vibe,” was indeed dark–with a strong range of black and grey pieces. For a moment it seemed as the bold & imaginative Christian had left the building and replaced with a tamed version of himself. And, for a moment I was saddened.
He began the collection with his most “ready-to-wear pieces.” Now, while the beginning pieces were pretty they weren’t all exactly thrilling; There was your beautifully draped dresses in wool, cashmere, and satin. You also saw many classic silhouettes and he managed to include some really great deconstructed pieces such as the Grey Chevron Wool Swing Coat. Additionally, he was spot on with some of the trends we are seeing the season, such as the high waisted pants and metallic pieces. His metallic silk chiffon raglan sleeve blouse is stunning. But just when you were ready to give up on seeing the bold Christian that some of become accustomed to, he shows up in the form of his bold fuchsia looks. The crowd and I, were noticeably pleased.
His fuchsia satin faced organza drapped cocktail dress with side loop, is a stunning example of what I love about him. That said like any good entertainer he saved his best for last when Sessilee Lopez walked the runway in his organza drapped bodice and scalloped tulle gown that seriously got a standing ovation from the packed house of fashionistas. And, with that the show ended and my faith in Christian Siriano was restored.
Oh, and the shoes were amazing also part of his payless collection.
Stay tuned for images but in the meantime take a lot at the finale.

Victoria Secret had a small preview event to promote new fragrance lines– “Secret Moments,’ inspired by you guessed it: “Secret Moments.” The line was inspired by “the link between scent and memory” and the memories that it triggers which “are much more stronger than those provoked by sight or sound“ you know it feeling that “we’ve all experienced it: A whiff of scent and we’ve overcome with vivid emotion” and we relive that special moment over and over again.
Even in the middle of New York’s Times Square were the “naked cowboy” is often spotted walking around without so much of a side-eye from your typical the New Yorker, the American Eagle Outfitters flagship store opening party managed to get New Yorkers interested. And, it certainly made an impression with the flashing light bulbs, sexy guests and celebrity guests all enjoying the activities of the night.
By now, I am sure you’ve heard that there’s a new phone in market and its causing a big commutation among cell phone enthusiasts. So, it I am sure it will come as no surprise to you that there was a party to mark this new exciting phone. The people from Verizon had a party at the Angel Orensanz to mark the official launch of the Droid phone in the USA. The phone which is currently available on the Verizon wireless networks and according to Mark Milian of Los Angeles Times the “Motorola’s Droid is the best Google phone on the market.” So, the buzz is huge. Perhaps, that explains why I received what seemed like a million requests from friends asking me whether I was on the list for the party. Or, perhaps their interest was in the impressive guest list and band scheduled to attend. Whatever the reason, everyone it seemed wanted to attend. I think some were secretly hoping they could score a free phone. No such luck but I did have the chance to test the phone for myself and I can understand the buzz. The phone is sweet.
