Several heavy-hitters showed their Spring/Summer 2011 collections on Sunday.
It all started in the morning with Derek Lam, whose effortless West Coast style came through in his lovely, restrained collection of dresses and separates. Neutral colors dominated with A-line skirts, trenches and a few washed denim pieces. A gorgeous long-sleeve dress with a splotchy pattern of blue, black, green and yellow was the perfect day-to-evening look.
Front Row Roll Call: Stylist Rachel Zoe, Leighton Meister ("Gossip Girl"), Rashida Jones ("Parks and Recreation"), singer Deborah Cox, Jay Manuel, Vogue editor-in-chief Anna Wintour, Harper's Bazaar editor-in-chief Glenda Bailey, Elle editor-in-chief Robbie Myers, Elle creative director and "The City" star Joe Zee and Allure editor-in-chief Linda Wells.
The queen of the wrap dress, Diane von Furstenberg, debuted her new collection, which was inspired by seeing a show in Paris about dancer Isadora Duncan. The show marks the first since von Furstenberg's collaboration with new creative director Yvan Mispelaere.
The collection featured several jumpsuits, one brown with a white graphic print, another in a gorgeous purple with a hood. Wrap dresses also featured the graphic print, and keeping with the goddess theme, von Furstenberg added a one strap, white flowing gown.
Front Row Roll Call: Sarah Jessica Parker, Rachel Bilson, Molly Sims, Anderson Cooper, Nicky Hilton and Andy Cohen of Bravo.
American fashion icon Tommy Hilfiger put on his 25th anniversary show before a star-studded crowd. The looks had a funky country club feel with oxford high heels, seersucker blazers, navy eyelet skirts and boyfriend cardigans paired with bikini bottoms. It was classic Tommy, with a slight edge.
Front Row Roll Call: Jennifer Lopez, Lenny Kravitz, Bradley Cooper, Christina Hendricks, Rumer Willis, Jason Lewis, Rebecca Romijn, Neil Patrick Harris, Kristen Bell, and Ed Westwick all sat front-row, while Catalina Sandino Moreno and Theodora and Alexandra Richards were in the second.
