vivienne tam, jill stuart & binetti fall 2011

A few pics from the shows I saw on day three of Fashion Week!

One of my favorite parts of today was going backstage at Vivienne Tam, where I snapped a few shots of the lineup they'd put together for the models. It was a little painful to see all the clothes getting packed up, and also remarkable how quickly everything was cleared out after the show was over (fifteen minutes, max)!

My favorite dress at Jill Stuart, in whimsical but elegant subtle pink and pale gold.

Fabulous, glamorous twenties-inspired feathers at Binetti.

In a season of lots of deep red, Jill Stuart's fiery shade is pitch-perfect. I loved the combination of cozy accessories and a lighter dress in this look -- totally something I'd do!

Vivienne Tam projected the livestream of their show onto the back of the runway while the show was going on -- a great way for everyone in the giant space to see all the detail in her pieces.

A little bit Grecian at Binetti -- the draping of this dress was absolutely incomparable.
