HOW sweet it is/

D+G this afternoon, and I just could not get enough. The girls loved the dresses, everyone loves Dominico and Stefano, and hopefully you'll love the photos. Here's a small selection of the collection - a period drama that was fun and brought everyone to the opera:

WU / who?

Three seasons ago, a few of us went to the Jason Wu show wanting to see the new kid with a lot of buzz. Actually, I was shooting for Bumble and bumble and had to be there - but there was buzz and I was genuinely curious.

Fast forward to January and Michelle Obama is wearing one of his pieces on Inauguration Day. Skip another month and Jason Wu is backstage at his Fall 09 show and a whole lot of extra people are watching. They were not disappointed. Here's a few pics below of the fun backstage as the beautiful collection unfolded on the runway. When you see these pieces in stores [6mos from now], remember to take a look at the prints!

ASIAN Import / US Export

Looking back on NY, and it's bit of a blur. Yes, there were more presentations than usual - but still plenty of shows.

I'm talking specifically about Alexander Wang, 3.1 Phillip Lim, Doo.Ri, and Richard Chai. Here's a few from Alex's show on Feb 14 at the Roseland Ballroom. Let me know what you think:

If you're flying through Deutschland in the next few days, check out the Runway report from German Amica. I have the cover [Dolce+Gabanna Spring 09], along w/ a few other pages inside. Enjoy!
