Runway: Jayson Brunsdon, Fall 08

Edited by Rebecca Alexander

My favorite collection, by far, this fashion week was that of Jayson Brusdon. Showcased half an hour after the ever popular Zac Posen Fall 08 show, the pressure on Jayson was unimaginable. The crowd was tired, weary, and had various expectations. Then the show started…as the models entered the runway, gasps were heard and eyes widened. The models were gorgeous, one more beautiful than the next. The hair was tasseled and pulled into an updo, and the makeup was fresh and perfectly complimented the collection.

The collection started with all black looks with accents of crimson red, the only accessory being leather finger gloves. Unexpectedly, girly floral dresses showed up on the runway; Jayson being the only designer to bring the floral trend into fall. From the red carpet ready dresses, to the cocktail looks and the over-sized capes, the collection was fresh and innovative. As the last model walked down the runway, the audience began clapping, making the genius of the designer apparent.  Jayson left us wanting more, and left me with a new fave designer.
