As a first-timer to Mercedes-Benz Fashion week here in New York, I came in with an open mind and few expectations. Toni & I entered Lincoln Center, anxious to take in the exciting looks and daring trends of our fellow show-goers. We met with our team at the Diet Pepsi Refresh Lounge, enjoyed an ice-cold Diet Pepsi, and I made my way into the first show as Toni made her way back stage with the IMG Production team that will be working with us for all of our on-air events as Diet Pepsi Correspondents. Wendy (the fashion goddess known for her local NY fashion blog, Nitrolicious.com) and I made our way in to view Richard Chai’s collection. I loved watching as people filed in and took their seats, and enjoyed the opportunity to be a part of the Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week experience.
The collection was full of flowy, shear pants for women, and the most incredible coats and jackets for both women and men. One of my favorite aspects of the collection, was Richard Chai’s interpretation of puffy coats, with incredible over-sized pockets, uniquely placed around the waste line. Here is a great look at Chai’s collection:
