The presentation was held at the Chelsea Art Museum, and socialites, editors, buyers and stylists had to wend their way through a maze of white curtains to see vignettes of elaborate eveningwear. "That's a goddess dress," gushed Candy Pratts Price, executive fashion editor at Style.com, when she spotted a long, black, lace-and-tulle slipdress with embroidery, an ivory underlay and ribbon detail at the empire waist.
A strapless gown made of tulle and covered with gold embroidery was equally impressive, maintaining an appearance of delicacy under a hefty amount of metal. "It's a fantastic gold plume dress," Pratts Price said.
