Last Friday I worked at the Ann Yee show, held at the Skyroom hotel. Lynzy of Sparkling Footsteps and I helped prep the glass-ceiling rooftop showroom (which had the most incredible view of Manhattan), set up sponsor tables with Hot Blondies and Brunette brownies (I may have snuck one in my purse to try-they were to die for), and assisted getting the models arranged into place prior to the start of the show. Ann Yee’s fall 2011 collection is an incredible mix of sheer chiffon paired with nubby wool textures, in lush deep tones. From my personal favorite piece, the thick gray wool high-waisted trousers, to the shorts in the same fabric, and a slightly sheer pants jumpsuit with fluttery sleeves-it was a very wearable collection.
The colors were a medley of fall tones- maroon, dark gray, deep plum, and navy. The Ann Yee show was set up as an open presentation, where invitees were free to come and go as they pleased to look at the collection, and get up close and personal with the pieces. Yee launched her women’s designer label in fall of 2009, after having designed for Alice + Olivia, Barney’s, and Elizabeth and James.
Ann Yee was so gracious and darling in person, and was the picture of calm the entire day. And how could you not love anyone who effortlessly wears hot pink lipstick?
