New York Fashion Week :: Bill Blass [The ZOO]

Bill Blass :: Fall 2006

The first look said it all. Model Daria Werbowy graced the runway in Bill Blass signature style, clad in a red double-faced cashmere coat and cinched in with the iconic Blass belt. Designer Michael Vollbracht continued to carry the Bill Blass legacy by presenting a collection not only for the ladies who lunch, but one with an appeal for their daughters as well. Little jackets were cut ever so gracefully over light blouses and came in a cool slate grey. But what captured our heart the most were those silk crepe cocktail dresses. So chic and classic, it makes us nostalgic for those days we didn't play it safe by wearing jeans to parties. Tucked under a shearling coat, a standout was a french grey embroidered strapless dress. While the ball gowns towards the end were a bit frilly, the collection still succeeded in conveying the confidence and spirit we see in American fashion. [Rania Abu Eid] more...
