Every seat at Nanette Lepore had a postcard adressed to mayor Bloomberg demanding to ’save the garment center" and promote made in the USA clothing. I signed it and returned it to one of the girls collecting them.

Nanette Lepore collection was glowing with amber, orange and shades of brown. Shimmering elements, skirts and tops were giving us the feel of the city at night. "Paris at twilight" is what Lepore called her Winter 2009 collection. The knits were romantic but the asymmetry of the pieces were sending a modern at times even futuristic message.

Backstage at the New York Fashion Week after the Barbie fashion show. The jacket I’m wearing is LAMB by Gwen Stefani and the boots are from Hobbs, London.

I have left the tents and the New York Fashion Week for the day but I’m still blown away by the Barbie fashion show.

Over 50 American designers created their interpretation of a Barbie doll outfit and showed it at the fashion show during the NYFW on Valentine’s Day. From Nanette Lepore, Nicole Miller, Marchesa, Michael Kors, Kenneth Cole, Diane Von Furstenberg and many others viewed the clothes of the "global fashion icon" with their eyes.
