For this spring, Ms. Anvarian drew her inspiration from her recent travels to Morocco as well as from the provocative fashion images of Guy Bourdin.

New York Fashion Week Spring 2008 :: Tracy Reese Show and Interview Video
High waist sailor and palazzo pants, trim and sleek; flounced sleeved blouses; elongated blazers; trompe-l'oeil chemise and tops, all were part of these lovely girls' attire.

New York Fashion Week Spring 2008 :: Erin Fetherston Show and Interview Video

New York Fashion Week Spring 2008 :: Josh Goot Show and Interview Video
This well-crafted collection was subtle yet bodes well for the coming Spring season. Mr. Goot dared us to be a bit bolder, to look beyond the usual. To embrace our sensuality. And while he might be seen to be shaking the same tree, from my view, he’s exercising his finer points. [Kelley Quan] more...
CILA 2007
Beyond the fact that seeing women parade around onstage in their unmentionables is something that deserves an honorable mention, the Contours International Lingerie Awards is a much-deserved rally to a 16-billion dollar industry and an opportunity for notables in the supporting role of the fashion industry to take a bow. more...
New York Fashion Week Fall 2007:: Doo.Ri Show and Interview Video
Doo.Ri's draped silks and jersey in the fashion of suspension dresses, draped tulip tops and skirts, liquidly bubble dresses are outstanding. It became extremely hard for me to decide upon a favorite look and in the end I chose none as I coveted ALL of them. Navy, kelp, evergreen were the deep rich tones presented here that suggested the ocean thematic and punctuated with navy and black. The beauty note here was very smoky around the eye and tousled hair piled high on the head. It was a nice contrast to the sheen of the rich fabrics. In conclusion, consider this showcase a highlight of the week and take the opportunity to get some for yourself. [Kelley Quan] more...
New York Fashion Week Fall 2007:: Zero by Maria Cornejo Show and Interview Video
My favorite look on the runway was a sleek, satin trench with a draped silk georgette dress with banded bodice. It had that head turning, downtown New York vibe that looked relaxed yet highly stylized. [Kelley Quan] more...
New York Fashion Week Fall 2007:: Heatherette Show and Interview Video
One of the biggest obstacles we've ever had to face in life occured on Tuesday night, which was of course the nightmare of getting into the Heatherette show (ticket and press pass in hand we might add). The celeb-loving, showstopping traveling circus made a stop at Bryant Park to present their take on Fall/Winter 2007 (a - la The Wizard of Oz). As Amanda Lepore waved her wand, the magic of Heatherette shined brightly on us. [Rania Abu Eid] more...
