Spring 2011 Fashion Week: New York pt. 1

Since we are in the midst of the Fashion Olympics, aka NewYorkLondonMilanParis FASHION WEEK, I thought it would be apropos to blog about it.  I'll start with New York, where I had the pleasure of attending Christian Siriano's show at the Lincoln Center.

Christian's collection did not disappoint,  featuring a mix of prints and textures that drew from African, Indian, and Chinese cultures.  It began demurely with crisp, white numbers, then transitioned into slinky metallics, oodles of chiffon animal prints, and finished with a magnificent red cloud of crinoline.  These are just a few of my favorite looks.

It should also be noted that the shoes (designed by Christian for Payless) are FAB.  I am going to need to get my hands on the red ones.
