Mercedes Benz Fashion Week

OK, so this was my first official Mercedes Benz Fashion Week Runway Show “live” from inside the Tents! A gift that is never to be forgotten for those of you who truly enjoy fashion (thanks to my friend in NYC and JM for all of the special tickets!) And I do have to admit, when the lights went down and the music started the action was intense- I had to look around and say to myself- “Am I really here? At one of my favorite designer’s runway shows? Really?” A tear or few came to my eyes. All I could think about was my mother and how much she wanted this. This is the reality of the fashion business. It’s more appreciated when you see it LIVE and IN COLOR. Watching the show on the TV is nothing compared to the heart pumping adrenaline rush of the moment….

My first Show was Custo Barcelona whom I truly adore and love their colorful tops and dresses! The show was packed! And I got seats! Yeah! No standing room!

The show started out in whites with lace stitched into bright hues and cutouts with sheer mesh and matching panties. Patterns were bold and with Lips and a peacock feeling with Ostrich Feather statements. Trimmings were sequence, beaded & fringed! Almost kind of gypsy like with the bouncy free spirited models dominating the runway with their long legs and shoes? Colorful strappy sandals with a gladiator feel for a strong statement.

Men’s blazers were popping with plaids and brocade designs shimmering in a disco ball of light. Amazing wearable art…Check it out:
