Fashion Week In and Around the tents, Part One

After my final show on Wednsday 2/13, I went up to the tents with a couple of coworkers who had another show. I went to get some goodies from the tents, but before we went inside we took a little ride. The video called "The Ride of  Lifetime". For the opening of the latest James Bond Film, Skyfall, they had Astin Martins available for free rides! I never considered myself a sporty car person, but it was a fun ride. Our driver was a professional race car driver, the ride was that much more fun!

Sorry the picture is blurry, my camera didn't seem to want to focus. This is the Astin Martin aka James Bond car from across the street before we crossed over

This was our driver for the fun ride!

No for the cars inside the tent...Mercedes Benz.

Fashion Week Fashionista Fashions

Some random shots of fashionistas from inside the tents during Mercedes Benz Fall 2012 fashion week. It was the  last day for me and a rare opportunity to sit, chill, people watch and take pictures!

Former America's Next Top Model contestant Toccara. She said 'hi" to me and my friends when she walked by! Fabulous!

Glitter gowns on display!

I was told this is a famous stylist, Rosemary, I believe her name is. I never heard of her,but people are more known by different segments of the fashion industry.







Maybe it's Maybelline! LOL!

Cool shoes!



Michael Kors

Good lord! I meant to have this post up much sooner, but you know how it is when you have a funky wifi connection and lots of picture to upload.

Anyway....

I wasn't able to get all the pictures I wanted for this show from style.com. It could have been my wifi connection interference, but whatever...I'll add the pics I want later when I find them. I was a floater at this show. I didn't dress any of the models. I helped other dresseres when they needed assistance.
Overall, this was a wearable collection as Michael Kors  always is, but I  do find that he does the same things season after season. Same style, different  color or fabric, nothing very new. When I'm able to download the picture I will show you. I noticed a look in this show that he did a couple of seasons back only in a different color. I know it is challenging coming up with new ideas each season, but at least if your going to repeat something, space it out enough so no one will notice right off!

Vera Wang

Oscar nominee Viola Davis backstage before the Vera Wang fashion show. She looks even better in person than she does on t.v. I was that close!

With the exception of a few looks, this collection felt more like spring than fall. I never wear sleeveless or a lot of shear items in the fall and winter. I did like the overlays and prints, especially the blues in the last few pics.

 I dressed Ruby Aldridge for this show.

 This was one of very few looks that I thought was fall/winter. It's one of my favorites.

 I liked the pants, the color and print. I would prefer long sleeves on the jacket.

Ruby in her second look.

Vera Wang. She is unbelievable thin!
