Just look up! Or even down the street. Urbanscapes and architecture were the inspirations in the evening gown collection of
Karen Sabag and the sportswear collection by Jaqueline Rank and Gabrielle Morales of
Stem Designs.
Karen Sabag introduced her Spring 2010 eveningwear collection. Karen draws her inspiration from the streetscapes of Barcelona. She has definitely captured the elegance and brilliance of the marble and stones in the street. Of her collection, Karen said, “My gowns this season are sexy and fun yet elegant at the same time.” One would be hard pressed to disagree with her. The collection, while capturing the essence of Barcelona, would make any woman feel like they were actually walking the red carpet at the Oscars.
Karen Sabag uses only the finest fabrics in her designs. Gowns in her collection are made of 100% Italian and French Solstice lace, are intricately worked with crochet, embroideries, and embellishments of fine hand beading, many of which are adorned with Swarovski crystals, pearls and delicately intertwined metallic silver or gold threads. A signature of Karen Sabag’s bridal gown, hand worked
corsetry, adds a glamorous sultry component to a woman’s body by putting emphasis in the right places. In October she will unveil her
2010 Bridal Collection at The Intercontinental Hotel as one of the participants in
The Wedding Channel Bridal Couture Show.

The silent auction benefited MENY, a grassroots organization comprised of volunteers who devote their efforts to achieving marriage equality, under the leadership of Ron Zacchi. “
Bonnie Bien, of LA Presse PR, put together a great show of emerging artists for fashion week.” Mr. Zacchi goes on to say, “MENY is honored to be chosen as the sole beneficiary of all proceeds from the event’s silent auction. With the upcoming 6th Annual Wedding March taking place in DC, these funds will help us bring New Yorkers to our country’s capital in support of marriage equality.” As one of the most liberal states in the country, New York is still trying to pass a law that enables same sex marriage.

I also got to visit lots of interesting places with some of these people while running from the zombies - because running is what your supposed to do. No? I started off in Queens, New York somewhere, and ended up in the non-specific south, in the beautiful, top floor, oceanside duplex of Ines Rosales - the traffic expert for FOXNY. She was a very gracious hostess considering we weren't necessarily invited to her place. It was clear from the view from her balcony that this vacation location had been adversely affected by the zombie infestation of my dream as there was only a handful of folks on the boardwalk...and they appeared to be zombies.
