The line was tough, robust, and sexy at its finest. This collection represented masculinity, a young man on a mission, in transition and in fashion.

Mackage – Fall 2010 – New York

Asked about their goals at their Fall 2009 show, the duo replied that they wanted to be known as the designers that ‘re-invented the coat.’ Whether they feel they have achieved this, we could only speculate. We can say only that they seem to be doing a fair amount of exploring and experimentation, which is good.

Victor de Souza – Fall 2010 – New York

For Fall 2010, de Souza took his ideal woman and gave her an other-worldy makeover in a chic Greenwich Village Moroccan restaurant. His models drifted through the space in alien-inspired makeup, making them appear to have landed in New York City for fashion week from points far further and abroad than St. Petersburg and Rio.
