Regardless of what’s going on in the global economy, elegance and opulence still reign supreme in Oscar de la Renta’s world. And we find his colorful vision to be quite refreshing. For Fall 2010 De la Renta brought out the metallics and brights will emerald, pumpkin, magenta and cinnamon adding a rich pop to the runway. Gold, champagne and gray adorned with beaded details made for incredible evening looks.  Black was far from boring, with fine details woven in to each fabric making for a rich and textured variety. We spotted Rachel Zoe in the front row taking copious notes as each jaw dropping look passed by, which leads us to believe we expect to see some version of these design at the Academy Awards. And we must admit we are sort of  jealous of whoever gets to wear these gowns first. ~Nola Weinstein

Great wine and great fashion is our kind of combo. The Ecco Domani Fashion Foundation (yes the company that makes delicious vino put on a show to remember last night to commemorate the fashion industry’s final year at Bryant Park. The Foundation, which acts as the vehicle to catapult new and emerging designers to success and prominence in the fashion world, has donated over one million dollars to support the work of young emmerging talent. It has jump started the careers of such notable names as Zac Posen, Alexander Wang and Vena Cava. With Robert Verdi hosting and the fresh new faces in fashion presenting, there was no surprise to the long list of celebrities in attendance. From actresses Kate Walsh, Molly Sims and AnnaLynne McCord to socialite Tinsley Mortimer, all  were interested in getting a first look at the next ‘big name’ in fashion.The show, featuring designs of The Blonds, Prova, Prabal Gurung, Siki Im, Altuzarra, Salvor and Organic, had something for everyone – men’s clothes women’s clothes, shirts, scarves, jackets and more. The eclectic collections were filled with stunning wool coats by Prabal Gurung, eco conscious plaid jackets and tweed pants by Organic and ‘hipstertastic’ suits by Siki Im, complete with backpack straps to protect jackets from being lost. The Blonds may have been the first designers to grace the runway but their creations definitely will not fade from our memory, with crowd pleasing outfits including a spiky dress and an armor inspired corset reminiscent of the Middle Ages. When the show was over, a smile remained on our faces and we left with the knowledge that we had witnessed true inspiration. We cant wait to see what these innovative designers come up with next. Bryant Park may be the venue of the past but these designers are the spirit of what’s in store for the future!
