By Candace Cabrera Moore






What: Joy Cioci FW 2011 Presentation
When: Friday, Feb. 11th, 6:30pm
Where: Lincoln Center, The Box




Joy Cioci's collection lit up the stage at The Box presentation during New York's fashion week. Twenty-nine uber-feminine looks were featured on models with naturally loose hair and fresh-faced make up with pretty pink lip gloss and and pops of blush. The big stand outs? A dreamy printed blue high low dress, a super soft knitted rabbit fur mini with cascade ruffles, and a modern yet timeless cashmere and wool ruffle cascade coat with removable fur collar. The collection was the epitome of effortless chic!
