New York Fashion Week Fall 2010: Boudoir d’Huitres

Posted by fashionentrepreneurreport On Tuesday, February 16, 2010

Set in the minimal Exit Art space on 10th Ave, attendees were treaded to dark red light and the opening of an opera set. Melodrama was yet to come in a collection called “Queen of the Night” inspired by Mozart’s “The Magic Flute” in a way only Mimi could do it. The collection was based off of a “three-through” type of embroidery, triangles mixed together to create a parchwork type of print. Using organic materials this season such as cork, hemp silk and organic merino wool, luxury was not spared for the environment. “I imagined my own Victorian spin of Egyptian temples and secret gardens, I wanted to create beautiful art that was both modern and wearable.” Said the designer. Throughout the black and red palette came a white merino wool strapless dress that was so divine if the model did not walk faster, I would have snatched it off of her myself.
