NYFW: Zang Toi





I will start by saying the Zang Toi show was the kind of show that almost made you want to cry. When the first look came out, the crowd immediately erupted into applause.  (Call us crazy, but everyone we spoke to said they were near the brink of tears!) The dramatic music, the slower more theatrical pace of the models, and of course the clothes themselves, all combined to create a breathtaking production.


Toi says for the first time, this collection does not have a cohesive theme, as its inspiration was solely based on his devoted clients.  The looks ranged from everyday wear to full-length gowns, and they featured a lot of emerald green, camel and black.  Models wore their hair in enormously tall buns and heavy "va-va-voom" eye makeup as they glided down the runway.  We loved the black and camel lace gown and are absolutely in awe of the fully beaded neck pieces!




The last gown that came down the runway was a whopping $30,000 stunner, worn by Real Housewife of New York City, Jill Zarin.  



Zang Toi showed us once again how to do timeless, classic & elegant.
