Shrug It Off
Odd combo of mohair and citrus at Raika D. show
NEW YORK: Sunday, February 08, 2004
THE LOOK: Raika D. and co-designer Carmine Di Sarno’s collection was rife with mohair and acid-colored satin. A mix of glitz and downtown glam, standout pieces included a chunky mohair shrug adorned with crystals, simple cutout sweaters with oversized fabric hearts, and a midnight blue rhinestone and gem cardigan.
HEAVILY OVERUSED BUZZWORDS: Lime, shrugs, fishtails
SEEN:
Rick and Kathy Hilton, who carried a Dolce & Gabbana tan bag with fringe
Nicky Hilton, who walked the runway, and BF Ian
MTV Rich Girl Jaime Gleicher
At the Capitale after party:
V.v. beautiful crowd…lots of model-y guys and fashionable girls.
Nicky Hilton and entourage relaxed around a reserved table.
Jaime Gleicher and family entertained and chatted with the many fans of her show.
HEARD:
Jaime Gleicher
“The collection is so feminine but set in all dark colors, which is a nice change from the usual pinks.”
Nicky Hilton
On her runway afro: “It wasn’t extensions or a wig…they actually curled my natural hair that big.”
