Zang Toi's Fall 2013 Collection

Last night's showing of Zang Toi's Fall 2013 collection was fashion opulence with the inspiration stemming from Imperial Russia; think of the Faberge Egg or Peterhof Palace for instance. Zang used the richness of hues that hinted on all things Regal with gem colors like Amethyst, Sapphire, Emerald and Amber. The collection was cut into fabulous ensembles that came in Sable, Fox, Mink, Silk, Cashmere, Mohair, Crepe, Wool and Satin. 

After the Finale walk, the buzz throughout the venue was that Zang's show was the only one of all of Mercedes Benz Fashion Week to receive a standing ovation with a thunderous applause. Everything about that show was in tuned to its theme. Even while being seated, Michael Jackson's Stranger In Moscow was on repeat. Some people were stumped on the repetition but when the lights dimmed and the music changed, it became a no brainer.

Here's what we mean....

Mataano Fall 2013 Power Dressing

Power Dressing: refers to a style of clothing and hair intended to make wearers seem authoritative and competent, especially in professional settings in business.....

For Fall 2013, Mataano presented their definition of Power Dressing. Bringing strong, edgy and confidence to their customers' closets, they're pushing for an assertive direction in the way she looks. Their choice fabrics were patent leather, animal prints on silks and some unexpected"Classically tailored" outerwear in felted wool; with a palette of pink mocha, rich Bordeaux, navy and deep black, "...this Mataano woman is not interested in making concessions, she dominates"-Mataano.

We give you...Mataano.....

Immediatley after the show, the chairs were pulled out of the way to make room for mingling and networking. Fashion Noteworthy was able to snatch up a few of Fashion Week's beautiful people for a picture moment. We must say, contrary to what some may believe about a model's behavior, they were the most easy going, approachable and very friendly people at the venue....
