CHRISTIAN SIRIANO
Project Runway didn’t give the fashion world any chump. This boy gives exactly what his favorite line says, “fierce.” Spring taupe essentials and big hats will be at the top of every southern French woman's list who lives in driving distance to the Medi. Plus the closing dress and model were impeccable together from the detailing of the ruffles to the material! Fierce!

BAND OF OUTSIDERS
They have found the solution to East coast meets West coast and perfected it. Their Spring RTW collection is definitely a winner with all your essentials covered from a harem pant to a khaki jumpsuit. Scott Sternberg, the head designer of Band of Outsiders is said to be the postmodern Ralph Lauren. I feel there is an underlying theme that reminds me of Prep schoolers getting lost on the Venice Beach boardwalk. I think this line could bring him out of up-and-coming status as a designer and have a permanent spot on the map!
RICHARD CHAI
When did little Richie Chai grow up and learn what every New York 20 -something woman wants? I love the collection all the way from the fuchsia romper to the diverse array of faces on the runway. Chai seriously struck gold and used my favorite versatile cut out bootie every girl wants! The separates streamline off of each other and every piece looks extremely wearable. Chai fused sexy downtown with uptown tailored basics. If this was his vision for Spring, can't wait for his Winter 2010 collection!
ISAAC MIZRAHI
Looks like this illustrious house hold name is changing his mantra from Americana to the Sophisticate. Isaac Mizrahi’s RTW collection this year was acclaimed to be an ode to YSL and you know I can’t get enough of that Le Smoking classiness. As expected this Bryant Park veteran didn’t let his recently relaunched Menswear line get in the way of designing a collection that saluted femininity and couture at its best.
PROENZA SCHOULER
I’ve always loved the dynamic duo behind Proenza Schouler who is Jack McCollough and Lazaro Hernandez. These two know hemlines and set the palette of colors for the season. Surprisingly, these two let a little bit of tribal come into their contemporary pieces this season and it came out fabulous. The drop waists worked and the ruffles looked effortless. I wouldn’t expect anything less from the innovative duo that knows how to polish an entire look.
Honorable mentions:
~ DVF’s batik tribal prints made my inner boho want to come out, and the sunflower yellow pieces were definitely show standouts. Plus loved seeing Lakshemi, Karlie, Sessilee and Chanel Iman all rocking the flower power.
~ Oscar de la Renta’s resort 2010 was very Eloise at the Plaza. While his Spring collection had elements of Princess vacationing in Morocco and shopping in Monte Carlo for the weekend. Always staying true to timeless looks that could persuade my own mother to buy something for me.
~ Preen’s models may have been on the scarier side but they definitely mastered the perfect cocktail dress with accents of lace on taupe. They definitely know how to put the WOW factor using the tiniest of detail.
~ A few others that have always been on my radar are critic's fave 3.1 Phillip Lim and Doo Ri. They know how to cut and design and had some outstanding show standouts.
