"Three was fun company today at the triple show featuring Nicholas K, Sergio Davila, and Mara Hoffman. Nicholas K was first. If grunge and glam got married and had a baby it would look like the Nicholas K show. There were the traditional grunge elements \u2014 dark neutral colors, plaids, leather jackets, baggy pants, and biker boots \u2014 that were separated from the grunge norm by luxe accessories and expert tailoring. There were colorful feathered hats, romantic loose dresses, and a very chic red, leather handbag. The clothes had a structure to them that banished the shapelessness that sometimes results when channeling the grunge. It was grunge couture, and it looked good. (The designer also brought her very cute, and very well behaved, Boxer dog onto the runway after the show. Kudos!) The second show was Sergio Davila, where models strutted their stuff to a mix of opera, hip-hop, and &amp;#039;70s funk. The guy&amp;#039;s collection had had a nerd-gone-stylish vibe, with lots of tucked in collared shirts, vests, tailored trousers, and sweaters. But, the trousers were bedecked with pinstripes and checks, making them anything but ordinary business wear. The tailored pants were paired with (manly) leg warmers, the vests sported mixed prints, and the trench coats were softened with lambs wool lining. There were lots of scarves, a jeweled tie, and a few jackets adorned with feathers around the collar. For the lady&amp;#039;s collection, models with super long pony tails wore clothes with a bit more edge. My favorite was a sparkly black mini-dress (which was followed by a guy in a matching sparkly sweater). The final show was Mara Hoffman, and Mara Hoffman was divine. The show featured lots of prints, and all the shoes were supplied by a favorite of mine, Steve Madden! Sweet! This was the only show that featured just clothes for women, and it was flirty and beautiful. Most of the outfits were dresses, and there was a large variety of shapes and lengths. My faves were the bold print mini-dresses that were paired with matching bold print leggings and a tiered, black dress that was covered in burnished, gold studs. The only item I couldn&amp;#039;t see myself wearing from the collection were the studded head wraps, although I still thought they looked good on the runway. It&amp;#039;s fashion week! You&amp;#039;re supposed to get a bit crazy. What&amp;#039;s the crazy trend you can&amp;#039;t get enough of? Yours, Molly "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
