{ nyfw } kick-off party

last night i was joined by krystal simpson (straight off a plane and STILL looking insane) to kick-off fashion week ~ valentine style! the festivities commenced at curve, where we fêted the US launch of jovial japanime character pucca. aided by buoyant refrains spun by harley viera newton, plus an abundance of mini-cupcakes and godiva truffles, the crowd was equally animated. everyone seemed so happy that fashion week had begun!

on display were darling designs from a few of my favorite fashion friends:

but we mostly had eyes for the sugar-sweet heart-shaped sunnies (i left with a black pair that i plan to wear all week). viva l'amour & glamour!!
