Today I had the pleasure of attending the Couture Council of the Museum at FIT’s annual Fashion Week kick-off event. This year the Couture Council’s award for Fashion Artistry was presented to Albert Kreimler of Akris. Held at Lincoln Center, the red carpet, crowd of photographers and beautiful clothing evoked feeling of nostalgia for the fashion weeks held there in the past.

In a nod to the Couture Council, I am wearing some couture embroideries sent to me from my friends at Hannan. I paired Hannan’s exquisite shirt and vest with a pleated silk vintage skirt by Rei Kawakubo. My jewelry was given to me by Elena Kriegner and the finishing touch is a pair of flat feather mules from Tibi.
