Fashion Houston 2010. Day 1 October 11th

Designers:
Cesar Galindo
Lyn Devon
Christian Siriano

All three designers' collections amazed me! Every single piece that walked down the runway was beautiful. Houston native Cesar Galindo's collection was so unique, and on top of it all, he is super popular in the Latin American world. There were reporters from Reforma and Epous. He also introduced "Ro", who was his roommate for the show "Fashion Show" that will debut on Bravo November 9th. I got to personally meet Ro. Pictures will be posted soon. Favorites to be posted soon.Watch Cesar's collection.

I wanted every piece from Devon's collection for myself. Her pieces we so cohesive and I loved her colors (ivory, silvers, grays, greens, reds, and black). The pieces were characterized by collared shirts and bows. The patterns on the fabric we also were beautiful and I loved how they looked together. She took a different approach on "business" attire, and it was translated into preppy, yet professionally chic pieces. Pictures from the actual runway will be posted soon, but for now here are some pictures from her spring 2011 lookbook!



The last show of the Night was Christian Siriano. I am an avid Project Runway viewer, so to put it simply, I was overwhelmed at the fact that I was actually going to see his collection at a live show. When his show began I was so ecstatic to see the pieces up close. They were all beautiful, especially the finale piece-a tan sweetheart bodice with a giant tulle. Also he used my all time favorite shade of brown in a few pieces, and lined those pieces with red-sheer genius. His mixture of leather and silk and patterns created a wonderful collection. His use of ruffles was not overly used and it created cohesive wearable looks, that I wish I could have!

I had seen his full collection on Style.com, but I got to see an abbreviated version of that in real life. It was really a great opportunity, not only to see Christian Siriano's Spring 2011 line, but Lyn Devon's and Cesar Galindo's. To top the night of excitement off, I was sitting next to Christian's manager, and actually was able to meet Christian the next day at Neiman Marcus. Just being at the show, and then actually meeting Christian is one of my highlights in life. I really admire Christian's aesthetic and as a student designer, it is so encouraging to see such a young designer become so well known. More pictures of my favorites to be posted soon!
