New York Gift Show: Fashion Review

henna tattoo in Continental Home booth

I go to the New York Gift Show to see the latest home wares, 
but I love spying the other "wears" too. 
Here are some of my fave moments of personal adornment.

IN BLACK AND WHITE

Merchandising master Stephen Killian explores B&W @ LAZY SUSAN: 

Laurie Lenfestey of Bittersweet Designs and consultant Nancy Soriano show off their black and white dot iPhone cases.

Graphic and anonymous.

 FRINGED

 Margaret Josephs of The Macbeth Collection (left) and Jill Rosenwald rock the fringe.

SKIRTED

This skirt reminds me of a man's tie.

Carol Gregg of Red Egg mixes honeycomb fishnets with a silk brocade skirt and 1950s kimono.

Great flowy hemline found at Made Goods.

My plaid radar kept beeping.

an unknown dapper shopper catches my eye from head to toe.

  Schmutzerland's Bonnie Berish's work shirt

In the 1973 booth

XOXO the combo of Claire Russo's plaid jacket with LuRu Home Nankeen pillow.

 A FEW EXCELLENT JACKETS

including Mark Musters' blanket style jacket.

coordinating outfits

out on the street, i really wanted to ask this army green trio if they planned to dress the same.


i also suspect this gift show shopping couple planned their orange and gray outfits.

LAST WORD: BEST HAT
