New York Fashion Week :: J.Mendel [The ZOO]

J. Mendel :: Spring Summer 2006

The showing of J. Mendel's Spring 06 collection was nothing short of pure luxury. Gorgeous silhouettes that were reminiscent of something Grace Kelly may have worn, equally as opulant and stylish. The colors were cool icy blues, bone, taupes and delicate splashes of congnac and steely-aquamarine. It was beautiful. There were touches of fur trim here and there, but what really stuck in my mind where the beautifully cut evening wear and cocktail dresses. They were so lovely and delicate, yet due to the unfinished edges, they were not overy girly. These were made for a real woman and you could imagine seeing any one of them at a gala benefit or red carpet. No hip groove thing here, just solid, beautiful , gorgeous clothes for a woman of substance, not trends. [Kelley Quan]
