We were so excited to be invited to have the backstage access of one of my favorite designer Carmen Marc Valvo’s Fall-Winter 2011 fashion show at the NASDAQ building in Time Square New York!
Just in case if you are not familiar of Carmen’s fabulous designs, he is famously known for his beautiful & glamorous eveningwear whom has dressed many Hollywood celebrities such as Vanessa Williams, Beyonce, Catherine Zeta-Jones, Oprah to Kate Winslet; just to name a few. His evening gowns are adored by many women because of the intricate beading & embellishments on each one of his creations that makes anyone who wore it looks & feels like a million bucks!
As we’ve seen so far from most of the fashion shows from this week’s New York Fashion Week, many designers has taking inspirations from the golden area of fashion; the 40s & 50s for their Fall/Winter 2011 collection & at Carmen’s show, we see many of those looks, too! But in a modern fresh takes! Delicate lace hemlines & hand appliqué lace embellishment motifs, calf-length silhouettes, couture draping details to show off the curves, all decorated with thousands of sparking beads & sequins. The luxurious fox fur wraps & mink-lined bomber jacket caress down on the shoulder, all illuminates the Marlene Dietrich glamorous feel to it.
Here are some of the backstage photos from the show
