Last night’s unveiling of Banana Republic’s Fall 2008 Holiday/Fall line was like a lot of other fashion week shows, except in April.
It started twenty minutes late, PR girls everywhere, editors pretending to ignore the free champagne, assistants in standing room only – the Vogue girls even held court from their first and second row seats, just like the good old days of February.
The clothes were, of course, perfect Banana Republic – cozy coats, elegant dresses, a muted color scheme of mostly blacks and grays.
But we think the real standout of the night was the models. Not only did Iekeliene walk for the label’s 30th anniversary, but we fell in love with a new girl, too -
Meet Arlenis (she’s so new we don’t even know her last name), a newbie at Marilyn who’s not only rumored to be involved in the already infamous Vogue Italia set to drop this July, but who’s also a favorite of COACD.
Every time she stepped out on the runway, eyes stopped staring in the direction of the clothes, and went up to try and figure out where in the world this girl came from.
Can’t wait to see what she walks in September…
