BGG was invited to attend the festivities of Brooklyn’s Fashion Week(end) this past weekend, but because I was out-of-town I wasn’t able to go. You know I had to have someone cover this fashionable event, so I appointed my BGG correspondent YG to bring us the lowdown on the popular borough’s fashion fete. Here’s her take on the shows:
Brooklyn Fashion Weekend was at Northside Piers parking lot. The parking lot space was transformed into a glam fashion event (or as glam as a parking lot can be) with live music, beautiful artwork and of course beautiful models. I got there Saturday around 5pm for a cocktail reception that had a wide variety of liquors. The fashion shows started an hour late (ofcourse) and I got seated in the 2nd row – not bad!

The first designer to show was Catalin Botezatu. The line consisted mainly of swim-wear. The ladies’ swim-wear was over-the-top with crazy hair, leather gloves and massive jewelry. It was sort of had a Palm Beach resort meets Dominatrix vibe.

Miss Bruno’s line was tied in well with fancy scarves on each model with pockets!
Color Heritage had a vivid and interesting collection, but nothing totally outrageous.
My absolute favorite one was Catou. They put on an amazing performance of a staged martial arts fight to open the show that was followed by a brilliant fashion show consisting of geisha-inspired lingerie corsets with fur! There were also pretty spring-like dresses and lots of beautiful jewelry piled on in a very tasteful way.
There was a consistent trend of feathers around the eyes that I’ve been seeing alot in fashion magazines.
Joan Vaccianna’s show was fantastic too. She has a chic, yet urban twist to her garments.

I had a great time on Saturday! 🙂
Sunday was a disaster! One of the fashion line’s can be best described as clowns meets hobos. I left after 3 shows and 1 awful performance!
That wraps it up!
that’s a hot swim suit
BGG… I hope you had a good trip.
I love the green sweater by Joan Vaccianna.
Good reporting.
Thanks for the rundown YG! Good report. I hope the weekend was fun BG.
wow very interesting comments about the fashion shows. love love love Joan Vaccianna
oh and hobo clowns of course
ooooooooh, thanx for the write-up….i want to see the clowns-LOL!
i wanna see the clown/hobos, too!
Me too, I want to see so I can decide. I might just like the clowns/hobos cause I don’t like this other stuff! I guess I’m just a simple BG 🙂 I couldn’t help but notice that models legs. They are 6 feet long…not fair!
@ Everyone – Unfortunately I wasn’t there and I can’t seem to find photos from that show. I want to see the clown meets hobo line too! LOL
Brooklyn Fashion Week sounds pretty hot!
That black dress by Joan Vaccianna was hot!!
