Diddy, who has his own line, and Andre Leon Talley, from Vogue. Along side them were Vanity Fair’s Michael Roberts and Veronica Webb. Also, one of todays hottest models, Agyness Deyn, walked in the show, which was a treat in itself!

The collection had a certain innocent sexiness about it. There were pompoms tied around the models chignons, and some of the dresses were sheer enough to see black garters. There was lots of sparkle-covered coats and jackets, and lots of bright tights or bottoms paired with black tops. The evening-wear looks had lots of ivory tops, and black skirts. The designer, Zac Posen, opted for a more fun and trendy look rather than his usual classical audience.

New York Girl Style attended and covered the Max Azria Fashion Show at New York Fashion Week on February 4th. It took place at 6 P.M. in the Tent. Fergie, Amy Smart, Rihanna, and Jaime Smart were all spotted in the front row as they took in the show.

The designer’s collection was stronger and sexier than they have previously been. The designers explained that the fall collection was an evolution of the Spring’s boudoir-inspired show.

The show was made sexy by elements of underwear used as outerwear. For instance, the corset that cinches a sweater dress, some taffeta peeking out, a barely visible garter under a trench coat. However, the collection was kept classy by the heavy fabrics and muted hues. There was also a lot of emphasis on the waist, hence the corset, making the collection very lady-like.
