[New York Fashion Week] Wildfox Couture Presentation & Party

I honestly prefer presentations to runway shows. There's significantly less posturing involved and the attendee has an intimate experience with each look. 

I received an invitation to checkout Wildfox Couture Spring 2012 in The Library at the Soho House. I was pleasantly surprised and not by the collection but by my reaction towards the collection. I found myself falling in love with not only the whimsical pieces (e.g. large stars, sequins, tiered floor-length skirts, cozy knits) but the carefree, Southern California vibe of the presentation. All of sudden, I wanted to shake off my NYC attitude and "all black everything" wardrobe and slip on a slightly oversized shoulder bearing knit, tattered denim shorts and a pair of Frye boots. Wildfox offers up a flavor of bohemian that I can totally dig, especially with the free top that was included in my gift tote bag. 

Life is beautiful @ The Soho House

These images were taken with my Blackberry, from my massive sunbed, while on the roof of The Soho House. I was far too lazy + tired to get up and take proper shots of the party. Next time. 

The view was incredible -- note The Gansevoort Hotel in the 5th image, also known for fantastic rooftop parties. I ran into a few friends, made some new ones -- including Fonzworth Bentley (who prefers to be called Derrik) and drank some of the weakest mojitos I've ever had in my life. Can't complain too much though, great company, lots of dancing and a cool breeze were exactly what I needed.
