We Heart Yigal

yigalazrouel.JPGWe sat next to Andre Leon Talley at Yigal Azrouel's show this morning so it was very very hard to concentrate on the clothes since we kept glancing over to make sure that yes, we really were sitting next to Andre.


Thankfully, the clothes were gorgeous and so we had no further problems keeping our eyes on the runway.

Azrouel drapes his fabric, whether silk, leather or wool, with an ease that should put every Project Runway designer, even Rami, to shame.

Almost every piece, with the exception of two floor length gowns, screamed "chic girl on the go." The muted spring colors, the matte paillettes, raw silk edges and chain details made for a collection of very sexy, but still wearable clothes. And his sequin dresses, (you can see them after the jump), flowed off the body like liquid, a welcomed new effect to a trend we'd grown tired of.

We wish we could wear these clothes everyday, but Andre put it best when he glanced over, smiled and said, "Just beautiful!"

I looooove Yigal! Probably one of my fav designers. And I love that he always shows at the beginning of fashion week. I get my fashion-week fill very early! Now if I could only pronounce his last name...

F-
Thanks for the runway updates AND reviews! For chic kids on the go who dont have time to read full length Tim Blanks paragraphs this is perfect and so many of us trust your judgement. I have your site as my homepage during fashion week instead of style.com! I dont have time to read everything or look at every runway look during the days, so this is perfect. Thank you!!!!
