Sally Wu Debuted Collection

Sally Wu Debuted Collection

New York Designer Sally Wu welcomed her collection Act 1 last night when she presented it at Art+Craft(in the Chambers Fine Art Gallery). It was enough to keep me wanting more!

The collection's pieces were very bold with the use of black, nude, plum, and other subtle colors. They maintained a timeless elegance, easy to transition from day to night. This Autumn, Sally Wu will keep you worm with her assortment of warm materials such as wools suede and cotton stretch jersey.

Art+Craft was held in side of an art gallery, and when I spoke with Sally, she mentioned that the idea was inspired by her childhood days as a traditional calligrapher and painter in Shanghai. I was mingling with her friends, other press members and New York's trendsetters to find that, Sally Wu has been actively involved in contemporary art, architectural design and you see these influences in her garments.

I was not expecting a fashion show, but Sally Wu put a twist on the showcase and delivered one! When a model walked out there were "ohhs & ahhs" throughout. The models made their way through the crowd, stood on pedestals and posed like statues in the spotlights.

Fifth on Main will be keeping their eyes open for more Sally Wu to come.

Badgley Mischka Fashion Show

Badgley Mischka Fashion Show

Mark+James Fall 2010 Collection - an amazing fashion show. I attended the flawless Badgley Mischka Mark+James at Fashion Week NYC in Bryant Park yesterday. The collection resembled a solar system of beauty with illuminating details. The usage of metallic, feathers, and crystals in the outerwear embraced the collection's sense of uniqueness. The Mark+James collection has proven that, when designers have a subsidiary lines it doesn't have to be boring. In fact, the Fall 2010 Mark+James collection is quite enlightening. A mixture between gowns, sweater dressing, cocktail dresses, with a bit of rock 'n roll. The cocktail dresses had a touch of sophistication and there was this bridal gown that was to die for! The Badgley Mischka Mark + James Fall 2010 Collection is absolutely glamorous!

Christina Hendricks, Nicole Murphy, Anna Lynne McCord, Joe Zee, Erin Lucas next to Samantha Swetra (just to name a few) all had front row seats! The lighting from IMCD Lighting was...perfect! The music kept me on the edge of my seat - thanks to Javier Peral. Peter Gray, let's just say EVERY model had perfect hair! Peter Gray used Redken styling products to achieve the perfect futuristic look. Isabel Dupré did an incredible job with styling, all the accessories were alluring while Charltte Tilbury and the MAC Pro Team mastered the make up! I couldn't help but notice the futuristic nail color! Deborah Lippmann - excellent choice on nails! I wanted to cry because of the enormous amount of beauty on the catwalk! By the way, for those who weren't at the show, picture a room full of sensational fashion. Pure perfection...the entire team of experts deserved the ultimate round of applause!

This Mackage Bijou Puff Jacket is the most comfortable jacket ever! Do you want to stay warm in the freezing cold? Well, the Bijou Puff coat is lined with a fur trim at the hood and is PERFECT for the cold winter months!

The next time you hear "12-inches","18-inches", or even "32-inches" of snow fall, pay it no mind.

-HOW TO STAY WARM-
Well, dressing in layers is a two part process ladies and gentlemen! You dress in layers, such as long johns, a shirt, a sweater, a coat, etc. They key is that whenever you go indoors, take off at least one layer right away.
So if you're wearing long johns, a shirt and a coat, when you step inside take the coat off, your hat, your gloves and your scarf if you have on one. It takes some practice and its not always practical, but give it a shot!

Enjoy shopping at Fifth on Main, It's a love hate relationship!
