If fashion shows function as brand statements then Rebecca Minkoff ended hers with five exclamation marks. And that’s even before the clothes came out. As the lights rose in the Theater, Sean Lennon and girlfriend, Charlotte Kemp, gave a stirring performance which continued throughout the show. Tough act to follow, but Minkoff did with loose chiffon skirts, sheer leggings and over sized sweaters which fell carelessly off the shoulder. Some standouts include an asymmetrical wrap with fur accents and a sexy, structured trench. These are clothes for the city girl who is perpetually running for a taxi and who never does the “walk of shame,” but the strut of satisfaction.
