VENA CAVA SS09 5.jpgAt yesterday’s Vena Cava production, no one quite knew whether they were at a show or presentation.
There were no seating assignments, but there was a runway. Ladders perched in the middle of said runway, but lights went down and there was a start and finish. It ended up being a bit of both, set to The Fiery Furnaces and starring some of Sophie and Lisa’s classics.
We spotted cut out triangles, zip fronts and sheer dresses in the best prints; a gorgeous dove grey gown and safety pin patterns; cummerbund belts and fishnet knit layers. We also spotted GAP’s Patrick Robinson chatting with Nicole Phelps in the pit and Sally Singer maneuvering through the crowd for a semi-decent seat.
Like three people said in the space of the hour, “Those girls just keep getting better and better.”

Great collection – very nicely edited too. Good job girls.

i like the idea of vena cava, and i think the girls are so great, but whenever i try on the clothing the fit is always so weird. sort of dorky, and not flattering at all. it’s almost too intellectual or something?

love love love them! but i kind of agree with guest #2…i’ve never bought any of their pieces because every time i try one on it always seems a bit…off.
regardles, i’m obsessing over the black tshirt dress with the red and white detailing at the top.

I don’t like the safety pin garments at all, but I am a huge fan of Vena Cava and I think this might be their best collection yet. Really, really fantastic!
