NYC Fashion Week Fall 2010 by Fashion Expert Esther Nash and editorial asst. Fabulous Shelly

THE SCENE:
Despite the worst Snow Blizzard of 2010, despite the cancelled flights, blocked roads, car accidents, delayed trains, the recession, the super-bowl and Valentines Day; the celebrities, socialites, buyers, press, stylists, and your Fashionistas Esther Nash and Shelly appeared at fashion week with style and runway flash! To my left and to my right most VIP attendees and members of the fashion elite donned hunting inspired hats/Russian inspired hats both faux and genuine fur coupled with flat thigh high and knee high boots. It was a very sexy cold fashion week. This season most dressed for comfort and style, bundled with animal magnetism which really steamed up the igloo like tents plus the flowing champagne, compliments of the Emm Group, placed all in a very friendly mood. Old friends and total strangers ran to kiss, hug and photograph Shelly and I.   (www.esthernash.com)

TONY COHEN: Wool pleated dresses with Jewels, embroidered detail; each garment looked like a work of art. Lambskin vests/wool buckle coats/silk jeweled trousers. This designer is a treasure chest waiting to be opened.

THUY: Swaroski elements crystallized detail. This collection had it all, spirit, gothic colors, detail, jewel tones, romanticism, what more could a buyer want?

TIBI: Neutral and contrasting colors; this collection was alive. Bow blouse detail and tweed bow skirts, bodysuits and suede pants.

Vassilios Kostetsos: Designer Collection for men and women, inspired by the ancient Greek dramatist Sophocles; in my opinion this was a very upscale glam diva show with hi-energy styles and a unisex line. The color palette was royal gold, silver, blue, red, and green. Metallic fitted suits for men. Creative fun accessories. Strong emphasis on shoulder pads, each piece was intricately detailed and had strong lines. The models appeared to be modern day sculptures.

DESIGNER FOOTWEAR FROM SPAIN: Represented five designers of handcrafted shoes, Chie Mihara, Magnanni, Magrit, Pura Lopez, and Sendra; all shoes are manufactured in Spain and made of leather.

MIK CIRE by Eric Kim: The collection was a masculine men's line, very rugged; appeared to be British influenced. I imagine men in entertainment, such as musicians and artists wearing these styles. This designer is communicating to men that there are different looks to explore and being is stylish manly.

Tommy Hilfiger: A veteran designer at the Tents known for his “all American” Sportswear that is casual and refined, unisex line, turtlenecks, mix of tweed blazers for ladies and men, cashmere cardigan sweaters a must.

So long Bryant Park and Hello Lincoln Center. I have been covering fashion week at the tents for the past 8 years and each season is always electric. I am very excited for the new location and have placed an early request that my seat be reserved. So stay tuned into my column and you will not miss out. xoxo
