 The BCBG Max Azria show

Flight delays kept me from getting here early enough to see most of the shows, but I did make it to BCBG Max Azria.

It looks young and modern, with lots of dresses that seem more suitable for summer than fall. Azria wrapped fabric, ruffled it and served up short bubble hems. Nearly every dress, skirt and coat was belted.

Neutral shades reigned with a bit of plum, mauve and navy in the mix.

Azria is showing three collections on the New York runways.

Along with BCBG, Herve Leger will be presented Sunday morning and his signature Max Azria on Monday, I remember a few years ago he had a a breakfast and informal Q&A for press. About five of us showed up. That wouldn’t be the case today.

Nicole Miller’s show was this evening, too. Wish I could tell you about it, but I couldn’t get a seat or even an invitation to stand. She was in Oklahoma City a few years ago for a New York-style fashion show and fundraiser, and her clothes sell well in the area, but the pr people wouldn’t budge.

So instead of staying in out of the cold, I headed out for a rainy walk to an event for the launch of Molton Brown hair products. Trust me, after I spent 30 minutes in the wind and rain to get here, my hair needed a little help, which it got from a stylist named Mossimo. Too bad I had to eventually leave there and venture out for another rainy walk to the hotel.

More about Molton Brown later, and more shows tomorrow. First up is Lacoste.
