Zang Toi's Ballerina Babes

This show is always the one I look forward for NY fashion week.  The inspiration of Zang Toi's Spring 2014 collection was the grace beauty of ballet.  The fashion show opened with Cory Stearns, the handsome star of the American Ballet Theater gracing guests with a performance.

The collection that followed was a parade of silk fantasy looks. There were ballgowns of ruffled tulle.  There were elegant silk crepe suits.  There were long fishtail gowns embroidered with beads, platinum thread or delicate silk flowers.  The color palette was a dark charcoal paired with icy blue or ballet pink.

The clothes were not only beautiful, Zang Toi gives his audience the complete package of dramatic models, well fed photographers and guests who get to go home with nail lacquer coordinated to the collection.  The man puts the show in "fashion show". Appropriately, the normally jaded audience gave him another standing ovation this season as they have done in the past.

Bravo to another grand performance Zang!
