NY Fashion Week: Vena Cava

Prada Shoes

Hello all and welcome to Bryant Park 2009! Or rather Spring 2010 (bet you didn’t know that fashion can involve time travel). I have seen many collections right up close and some famous folks, from somewhat farther away. There have been clothes! There have been uppity PR people. And there have been some amazing shoes.

Let get this started.

Vena Cava, the edgy design duo that becomes more and more beloved by young New York with every passing season showed their collection in a runway/presentation combo. First, the girls came out walking to the music of The Fiery Furnaces. Then they stopped and perched on metal ladders so that onlookers could see the fine detailing of the collection up close. For the most part, the shoes were standard chunky-heeled numbers, but a gold heeled bootie and another with cut-outs added some edge to an edgy collection. Oh! And they used electric boogaloo….I mean blue polish on the toenails and black on the fingernails. I am loving the hypercolor nail trend! Here are my photos:

The gold ones are kinda modern Doc Martern-y. Cute, fun, and solid.

Check out the awesome tribal-inspired jewelry they had as well:

Oh my god, is that a bustier top and an acid washed dress? I am SO having a Buffy the Vampire Slayer THE MOVIE flashback because that is like so totally retro. (A la Hilary Swank in her, I will do ANYTHING to be in a movie days)
