Hurricane Hanna decided to hit on our way to Vena Cava from Frank Tell.

We were soaked to the bone, crawling into the Chelsea Art Museum when we realized Vena Cava was throwing a party and their clothes just happened to be on display.

Impossibly cool girls, (think they knew Scott Schuman would be there?), hung around the perimeter in their designer frocks and rompers holding an unlikely accessory - cans of Budweiser in custom Vena Cava beer koozies.

Models stood on a central platform in their drapey, dressed-up-in-Brooklyn outfits. The girls had mentioned their Nile/Ancient Egypt inspiration and you could see it in the colors - muted blues, sea green, gold - and the jewelry.

The models all wore Vena Cava for Via Spiga shoes, of course, which were also piled high against a wall in case you needed a closer look. The shoes were much more impressive in person than in the original sketches and we desperately wanted to snag a pair.

But we had to run to catch those delicious macaroons at Bumble before Catherine Holstein started!

Vena Cava’s partnering with Via Spiga to create a four piece capsule shoe collection.

Sophie Buhai and Lisa Mayock, the designers behind the almost five year-old, beloved Brooklyn brand will debut the shoes on their Spring 09 runway. They’ll be paired with their “Egyptomania” collection - which, according to WWD, means strappy sandals and pyramid studs, though we’re dreaming of lapis accents and gold leaf.

The girls have played around with accessories before, in the form of bags and jewelry casually constructed in their design studio, but they’ve always considered shoes, “a dream design project”.

The shoes will retail from $300 to $850 and be available exclusively at Via Spiga’s new Soho flagship and online.

But don’t worry, we guarantee you’ll see them on the feet of Serena Van Der Woodsen/Blake Lively way before then.
