Day 3 - Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week Spring 2011

Prabal Gurung, Charlotte Ronson

Another day here at the shows and the excitement is still electric in the air. Anticipation is growing for the Prabal Gurung fashion show as well as Charlotte Ronson and Z spoke by Zac Posen. Also showing today, is Cynthia Rowley, Venexiana, and Lacoste. It's now 1pm and the Prabal Gurung show is about to start. The lights go down; here we go.
The first look exit the opening of the runway. OMG! color. Beautiful color blocked tops, skirts, dresses in brilliant coral, melon, and mustard. Each style absolutely fantastic, and modern. He also had great fridge skirts and dresses. Some of his pieces were very architectural and sculpted. Great evening pieces were introduced in white, tan, and black with cut out backs, and fringe detailing. I loved his smocked front dresses and tops. His colors were bright, fresh and unexpected. It was a complete 360 from the more subdued black and beige. Charlotte Ronson presentation was fantastic with great flirty prints and chiffon dresses. Her collection was youthful; and is a wonderful revamp of American sportswear. There were long flowing frocks with hits of color detailing that was fun. Ruffles are big this season, and was seen in top skirts and dresses. The hair and makeup was fresh, light, and clean. Sandals with socks, booties, and knit caps top off the look. My absolute favorite collection was Z spoke by Zac Posen. His collection must have been inspired by fruit, so delicious and sweet. His prints were colorful , playful, and insanely fun. Black, blue, yellow, plaid, ruffles and lace, need I say more. The jackets were cut to accentuate and flatter the curves of a woman and still be ever so chic. Brilliantly done! Finally the day ended with Venexiana. Beautiful evening dresses in gold, blue, black, silver, and with great detailing thats fun for the modern vixen. Tomorrow, Max Azria, Diane Von Furstenberg, Custo Barcelona, and Tommy Hilfiger. Keep posted!
