How fabulous to see Jaslene walk for Farah Angsana this Spring 2009 Fashion Week. She rocked, she was fierce, and she’s a working model! Wonderful stuff. Here are some great pics, courtesy of Mabel Lim, who attended the show.

Farah Angsana Couture – Spring 2009 – Final Exit

This was the final exit of the show. I loved the vibrant colors and the excellent cut of the long gowns. The embellishment and embroidery is just exquisite.

Farah Angsana Couture, Spring 2009, New York Fashion Week

Paul — Wed, 10 Sep 2008 20:39:02 +0000

The video doesn’t do justice to the incredible detailed workmanship on these gorgeous gowns. I was seated in pole position and wanted to reach out and touch the fabric as the girls went by. The emerald green numbers were among my favorites. I also liked the peach gown that had an exquisite bolero-jacket-like top.

Silk, satin, crepe, jersey – the material was so beautifully tailored to fit the body and fell so gracefully across the form. One number – a red/pink short dress with lots of silver studded embroidery – drew gasps, as did an amazing pink long gown with detailed silver work.

There were many red carpet pieces and hopefully it won’t be just Teri Hatcher, Olivia Wilde or Carrie Underwood, who will be wearing her clothes.

Oh, and it was a treat seeing America’s Next Top Model winner from a few seasons ago, Jaslene Gonzalez, walk the ramp! Tyra Banks would be proud!

Farah Angsana Couture Spring 2009 New York Fashion Week

I’m attending the Farah Angsana Couture Spring 2009 show tomorrow at the Metropolitan Pavilion in Chelsea. It’s a great location in a fabulous neighborhood.

Since her first showing in New York last year, Farah Angsana has had a string of celebrities don her glamorous frocks. Terri Hatcher, Carrie Underwood, Olivia Wilde have all picked Farah Angsana Couture dresses for black tie and red carpet events and received great reviews. Her drapery is exquisite and I really hope I get to sit right by the runway so that I can see the details and hear the swish of the material as the models sashay by.

I leave you with some of her pervious creations and will gleefully Twitter her show tomorrow.

Carolina Herrera Spring 2009 New York Fashion Week

I was at Carolina Herrera. It was packed, and I was way up in the boondocks – amazed I saw anything at all but very happy to be part of the experience. There were lots of ruffles, lots of frills, and very, very elegant clothes from this fashion doyenne. My little N75 was not quite up to the video task, but it took video and sound that really showed how packed the place was.

The colors started out Spanish red, and that Latin theme carried through the show. Ruffles across bare shoulders, embellishing necklines, trailing from hems – they added accents to body-hugging gowns, tops, and skirts. Reds changed to a whole spectrum of colors; my favorites were the saffron yellow pieces and this black evening gown that screamed RED CARPET!. We will definitely be seeing Carolina Herrera come Oscar season, if not sooner!

Venexiana Spring 2009 – Mercedes Benz Fashion Week New York

Paul — Sun, 07 Sep 2008 02:07:35 +0000

I like the longer dresses that came out towards the end of the collection. My favorite by far was the white number with the waist cinched by an enourmous belt. I also love some of the orange brown gowns. There was certainly a lot of options for the goddess in all of us. Katie Stern is a great designer. Check out the standing room folks at the back of the tent. Someone tweeted that they sent out too many invites.
