NEW YORK, NY (Hollywood Today) 2/5/08 – Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week keeps the stars coming at New York’s fall designer showcase, with a platoon of actresses in attendance at Monday evening’s PORTS 1961 show and Miss New York, Amaris Acosta, checking-in at charming Iodice.

And none other than Liza Minnelli herself in the front row for designer Marco Zanini’s first collection for the late Halston in a bid to re-boot the fabled brand.

“I loved the colors, the way it moved, very sensual,” Minnelli told AP. “The materials dance with you.”

Actresses Eliza Dushku, Emily Deschanel and Mandy Moore treated themselves to a presentation centered on countryside landscape at PORTS 1961. Creative director Tia Cibani found inspiration in Gaelic mythology. The Fall 2008 collection entitled “Lassair,” meaning flame or fire, featured every color of the Scottish rainbow. Limerick, ross, indigo, and a vibrant shade of red were offset by neutral dulse, peebles, sycamore, and cork tones.

A number of ensembles made use of feathers to further enhance mother nature’s presence, either on the fabric itself or as a head piece. Moreover, jeweled ribbing and cinched waistlines created powerful feminine silhouettes, especially when combined with sharp and sleek overcoats or jackets.

Meanwhile, Valdemar Iodice brought a sense of urban-based fashion back to the runway with his Iodice: Graffiti-Street Art program. Using contemporary print fabrics, the series began with some radiant blue and pearl white dresses, some which were almost reminiscent of delicate porcelain dishware.

However, as the models continued to charge down the catwalk, the designs took on much more of an avant-garde form. Taking the “street” concept to another worldly level, some of the shredded black shapes towards the end seemed to evoke the 80s grunge era, or in a few wildly out-there cases, simply tattered but fashion-friendly garbage bags.
