I had the pleasure of being a backstage dresser at Altuzarra on Saturday, February 9 for New York City Fashion Week. No matter how many times I participate, my excited nerves always overwhelm me. I love the scene, the hectic backstage, the excitement of the assistants and interns running every which way. Its so frantic yet controlled backstage. And of course, looking and touching the most amazing clothes! Altuzarra was a wonderful show to work for. I only had one look and one model, Daria, who was a dream to work with and who had an uncanny resemblance to Uma Thurman (although this picture doesn’t show it so well). Daria wore a jersey studded skirt and a white leather turtleneck with white patent leather booties. Very tough and yet chic. What I loved about Altuzarra’s collection was that it was very sexy without showing too much skin. Oh and um keep your eye out for checkered shoes I’m predicting a big old trend there.
