This was my first year attending an official NYFW show at Lincoln Center. Hooray!

I was invited to the Suzanne Rae FW2012 presentation

My favorite part of the experience was obviously all the intricately curated outfits by members of the fashion industry and design lovers from all over the world. The outward expression of personality was overwhelming in my favorite of ways (and this guy above was my hero of the day). If you were to see such bold ensembles as a passerby on the street you may raise an eyebrow, but the freakish efforts were endearing and unifying; everyone belonged!

Speaking of unifying, I loved how Suzanne’s collection flowed so neatly. Apparently Ms. Rae was inspired by the spirits of Jim Morrison, Aldous Huxley and William Blake. There were lots of structured sheath dresses, tails, draping, deep-cowl back lines, fringed necks and attached capes. Just beautiful!
