Woohoo! I am really really excited for fashion week to start next Friday, Feb 3rd. I wish I could be in NY but thank goodness for technology these days. Sure Gwyneth and Uma can sit in the front row, but I like to shelter myself from the paparazzi. Ahem...
One designer I am looking out for is Alice Roi. New York Magazine calls her style "Vintage nostalgia mixed with modern sophistication." Ohh! Here's an outfit from her Spring 2006 collection.
For now, enjoy style.com's fashion week preview.
