We were in the tents Monday night and the favorite show that we check out was the Ports 1961. The invite they sent out was fabulous with fabric swatches, an added bonus for us garmentos.  The intriguing pieces on the runway included all the solid knits in styles and colors inspired by Scotland; deep green, rich purples and vibrant orange-red.  Already for fall it looks like there is going to be lots of texture.  Celebrity sighting ~ Mandy Moore. We also check out the IODICE show. Our fashion scene diva said this: “The coolest (at IODICHE) was the black sheer and solid dresses that they had with interesting big thick yellow knit sweaters…”

We have more to come from shows on Thursday, Friday and more trends for Fall 08. Stay tuned. RL
