It is the most stylish summer ever. Designer Byron Lars presented his fall 2014
collection to editors and fans in an intimate event at the Pratt Institute
gallery Tuesday night. Models Ashley,
Minyoung and Sheila J. modeled some of Byron’s favorite looks from the
season.
Most of the stylists and editors who attended were already
big supporters of the designer judging by the number of women who wore Byron
Lars to the event. Author Lauren M. Bias
wore a metallic pieced sheath and director Sidra Smith wore a twist front laser
cut coral dress to the party.
Julep and Bluffa Jo cosmetics provided some rich hues in
nail lacquer to complement the colors of the collection, while Mizani hair
products helped to glam up the models’ do’s.
The Byron Lars team truly pampered party guests as they
nibbled on Pop Chips and gourmet bits from my new Garment Center favorite, Café
Kabila. The Moroccan influenced fare had
mini bastilla pastries, sliders and brie tartlets with cool mint tea. Make My Cake bakery from Uptown Manhattan
provided rich cupcakes and brownies in the gift bag. There are certainly a lot of cupcake makers in
this town, but I watched a model (whom I have never seen eat, let alone touch
sugar) inhale two cakes in about 30 seconds.
If that’s not a testament to their tastiness, I don’t know what is.
Are you looking for post-party indulgence? The Upper East
Side spa Sphatika offered guests pampering services with a special
discount. If you love Byron’s designer
glasses, you can shop for your own with a 3D virtual try-on experience from DITTO who gave out give certificates.
A personalized gift from Byron Lars was a soft scarf made
especially for the fashion party that was printed with his sketches of the
collection.
Now, I wouldn't tease all of you with these goodies if you
didn't have a chance to get them for yourself!
Byron Lars is offering up the VIP gift bag from the event in his “Designer for a Day” Challenge. Style the paper
dolls with your version of his looks and submit by noon on June 26, 2014. Good Luck!
