To kick of New York Fashion Week I attended a launch party for ASTONISH magazine featuring a fashion show by Phuong My. Staged on the top floor of the Gansevoort Hotel on Park Ave with views of the Manhattan skyline as a backdrop, models swarmed the runway in Spring looks from the Vietnamese designer. Oversized bows, ruching at the shoulders, and flower embellishments were all a part of this collection. Phuong's finale dresses were unique with their accentuated waists channelling Marie Antoinette and the days of panniers and petticoats.
