ZOOZOOM interviewed designer Michael Vollbracht at the Bill Blass Fall 2006 New York Fashion Week Show. He told us how important it was for him to continue the Bill Blass tradition of making clothes using the finest fabrics and cuts for wealthy women. He also stressed how important the appeal of this collection to the younger woman is for Bill Blass. Michael Vollbracht certainly appealed to the younger woman in this fall's classic collection and looks set to keep Bill Blass at the center of American fashion for a long time to come.
