The Front Row

I took this photo of the front row at Nanette Lepore from my seat and it is one of my favorite moments from fashion week. I don't know the name of the first blonde but the second is Joanna Hillman, senior fashion market editor of Harper's Bazaar.  She is sitting next to her colleague David Thielebeule, the senior accessories editor of Harper's Bazaar.  The last blonde is Kate Dimmock, fashion director of People StyleWatch.  I don't think I have to tell you that the best view of a fashion show is from the first row.  But it's even more fun to watch the front row watch the show!

NYFW: Nanette Lepore Spring 2011

Another show I attended during fashion week with pretty and colorful fashions was Nanette Lepore.  It was very reminiscent of her home in the West Village which is also very colorful and at times a little whimsical.  You can tell Nanette is a designer who doesn't take fashion or herself so seriously.  Sometimes you just want to wear a pretty dress and you can always count on finding one at Nanette Lepore.  The designer says she designs for a "bold woman who has fun and celebrates life."  An interesting touch to the show was John Forté and his ensemble performing original songs during the runway show.  It was a perfect combination and a lovely touch.  Enjoy!
