We loved Zac Pozen’s Fall 2009 show last Thursday. It was a fantastic marriage between art and fashion. The show was set to the performance by the 5 Browns (in Zac Pozen) on Steinway & Sons classic American made pianos. The mix of classical romances worked beautifully to heighten the Victorian drama - the inspiration behind the collection. Ruffled inserts and puff sleeves added flirtatiousness and lightness to the 1940 silhouettes with pencil skirts and tiny waists. The gorgeous gowns in antique golds and silvers that had “tapis rouge” written all over. Manolo Blahnik-created crystal-studded boots and Wolford’s Swarowski-strewn tights made the ensembles distinctly “evening”.

Our favorite pieces:

Silver Dollar cocktail dress on Lily Donaldson, Silver metallic jacquard alchemy gown, Grey wool melange day dress on Alek Wek, Embroidered boucle Nightshade trench, Ember wool Orchid dress and Onyx Organza arasol Gown. Oh, we just loved those metalic dresses.

Jewelry pieces - a mix of whimsical bugs, leafy ornaments, flowers and studs on brooches, belts and hair pieces - were designed in collaboration with Pamela Love.
