The Timo Weiland pre-fall collection was about “Midcentury Florida architecture" Designed by a trio comprised of Weiland, a Florida native, along with Alan Eckstein and Donna Kang. The pre-fall line included sporty separates in neutral tones with pops of primary colors.

The fall collection with have knits and lots of navy and grey which seems very apt for the Chelsea Piers locale.

Well, I'm in need of a manicure so I will soon be wearing that very cool Rowan shade. “@ZoyaNailPolish: @debrabass We're so excited!”

And almost forgot Earvin Jonson III (Magic Johnson's son) front row at Jonathan Simkhai.

Cookie, slippers, scented satchel, pre-charged battery, lip balm and did I mention the cookie.

Prep for "intersection between aircraft mechanics & winged flight ... inspired by flight of joy" #nyfw @TadashiShoji http://pbs.twimg.com/media/B9qqGUIIgAAs0Ga.jpg

A new twist on winter hats, the bedazzled moto helmet front row at #TadashiShoji #mbfw http://pbs.twimg.com/media/B9qshI-CcAEqGRd.jpg

First look at Tadashi Shoji.

by dbass 2/12/2015 7:31:07 PM
Hello, Ke$ha.

by dbass 2/12/2015 7:31:43 PM
I didn't get the ethereal theme much at Tadashi until these pieces walked out #mbfw http://pbs.twimg.com/media/B9qwNJ6CIAANv1l.jpg

by Debra Bass via twitter 2/12/2015 7:39:47 PM
And the 007 Skyfall theme plays for the finale at Tadashi Shoji. Definitely some wear for femme fatales in the making. And if you watch the sweep from left to right you might catch Ke$ha sitting opposite front row in a great sheer floor length gown and moto jacket.l with thick row sunglasses.

One of the first to sit in my row means I'll have to shift this many times to let people in #NYFW #MBFW @desigual http://pbs.twimg.com/media/B9q0Yr6CAAAEk6H.jpg

Always a fun happy show with a stunning array of ethnically diverse models at Desigual even though there's still much debate about how to pronounce the name. I say, Des-e-goo-al. But someone just called it de-sig-oo-elle. Confusing.

by dbass 2/12/2015 8:04:14 PM
Only about a half hour late for show, but full house in theater at Lincoln Square for Desiqual

by dbass 2/12/2015 8:27:15 PM
Always fun and colorful: radically diverse models and prints @Desigual #mbfw #nyfw http://pbs.twimg.com/media/B9q82TSCEAAHycg.jpg

Not sure I spotted the "embossed hair" mentioned in the program unless it was the plushy Velour-looking fabric. But some great mash-ups on ethnic prints and I-want-it-now jewelry at Desigual.

View from the pier, back where I started Pier 59.

Considering the name, how could I not support. She might be a cousin #JuliannaBass #NYFW instagram.com
