NYC FASHION WEEK
SPRING/SUMMER 2011
Best of DAY 3
PRABAL GURUNG
For his spring outing, Prabal Gurung resorted to his core strength: impeccably detailed, gorgeous dresses that any sane woman would crave. He divided his gems into edited section: bold graphics, tempting sands, coral silks, embroidered show stoppers, and noir burnt paillette numbers. Each one of his looks was immaculately detailed, perfectly energized, and infused with Gurung's signature joyful feminine twists. "This is really just a celebration of where I'm from," said the designer. "It's a tribute to a woman who's intellectual and exhibits her sexuality in the most beautiful and confident way."
VIVIENNE TAM
Vivienne Tam has made a career of exploring the creativity and positive energy that comes from mixing people and cultures. Whether its East and West, or Fashion and Technology, she proves that harmony can always be found—often where you least expect it.
CHARLOTTE RONSON
Charlotte Ronson isn’t afraid to get a little grungy, and she reveled in all things ‘90s for her Spring 2011 collection. A big proponent of the slouch-appeal, Ronson’s offerings were loose and relaxed—nothing too form-fitting. Calling on the early 1990s, denim vests, oversized striped sweaters and floral frocks looked as if they might have been plucked out of Blossom’s closet. Even the camisole over t-shirt look made an appearance once or twice, although Ronson also catered to a current-day girl with silk rompers and ruffled skirts that were both feminine and updated.

Z SPOKE BY ZAC POSEN
No more 9 a.m. timeslot at the Altman Building! Zac Posen returned to the tents this season, but this time to debut his Z Spoke by Zac Posen collection. Pre-show, Posen was his usual gesticulating and effervescent self, exclaiming, “I’m feeling major. Over the past year we’ve built a new brand, a new direction and a new American look.” True to form, Posen offered something for a plethora of personas, a look for whatever color your moodring may be. Strawberry print gowns and fruit cocktail blouses were bright and frothy, although Posen was sure not to leave out those who aren’t quite bold enough to try a kitschy print: Hilary Rhoda closed out the show in a simple black crepe jersey gown.
