Loved the Michael Kors show and am beginning to realize that I love dresses because I never pick pantsuits as part of my favorites. Anyhow, I also think I enjoyed his collection so much because it was largely in neutrals and blacks… those colors comprising about 98% of my wardwobe. (I was feeling a bit déja vu about that first look… remind anyone of Michael Knight’s outfit in the last episode of Project Runway?)

More streamlined elegance from Monique Lhuillier. Very sleek, very chic. Love all the gold tones and draped fabric.

Ohhhh, gorgeous clothes at Luca Luca. I don’t really know what to say other than that.

Reader Anna just sent me a tip that famed fashion illustration Jefrey Fulvimari (Of Madonna’s The English Roses fame) has created an original illustration for fashion house Verlaine‘s show at New York Fashion Week. From the release: “The Bryant Park show featured Jeffrey’s art both on the walls and in the designs – Verlaine was inspired to capture Jeffrey’s signature
darling girls as a bold print fabric, out of which she constructed three fabulous dresses in different cuts for her spring/summer 2007 collection.” Anna was kind enough to send me images of some of the garments and the store display. Now on the hunt for photos of the show, which was held Monday at Bryant Park. Enjoy.

Lovely lacey stuff from Oscar de la Renta. The long white dress would be a beautiful wedding dress.

Carolina Herrera’s Spring 2007 Collection was lovely and simply designed, in true Herrera fashion. Loved as always. Full collection here.
