“Fashion in Colors explores color as a design element through 300 years of Western clothing, examining the changing perceptions and meanings of color through various eras. More than 60 costumes are on display, ranging from eighteenth-century court gowns to couture creations by twentieth-century masters such as Balenciaga, Vionnet, Chanel, and Watanabe.” Closes Sunday.
On view at the Cooper-Hewitt until March 26, 2006.
As seen in April’s Elle Magazine… Nuj Novakhett‘s line references traditional Thai and Chinese costume and architecture and is combined with a very modern look. Lovely fabrics and very interesting seams and pleats. See her collection here.
Four looks from Nuj Novakhett's Spring/Summber 2006 collection.
Behnaz Sarafpour’s Fall 2006 Collection was chock full of great silhouettes and fabulous dresses. Especially love the gray one with the attached scarf.

What really caught my eye at the Tuleh show was the luggage. And how beautiful! Also love those coats… the patterns are amazing as are the styles. Love that white one.
Tuleh's Fall 2006 Collection.
Fantastic coats and dresses, very sculptural shapes and some really great colors show up at Oscar de la Renta’s Fall 2006 collection. Sleek, elegant and ladylike.
Oscar de la Renta's Fall 2006 Collection. Love the second look.
As every Fashion Week, I eagerly anticipate Carolina Herrera’s collection and true to form she never disappoints. This year she gives us style with a 1950s edge: beautiful cocktail dresses, long fur coats and chiffon dresses. Beautiful.
My favorites from Ms. Herrera's Fall 2006 Collection.
