Former Heatherette Richie Rich strikes out on his own in the Waldorf's Grand Ballroom. Without counterpart Traver Rains. His new line, under his own namesake might have been long in planning, yet the show was quickly thrown together.
Tipped off when my hair was played with at the Tresemme booth. I started sniffing and sure enough. Richie Rich was back! Much to my journalistic and blogging glee. When I called to wrangle an invite, the RSVP line hadn't even been set up yet. This was on Monday!
The show opened with tin soldiers and send in the clowns. Ballet dancers with Matthew Bourne version of Swan Lake i.e. with male swans.The looks sent down the runway were the signature muscle men in short swimwear. Yet the dresses, pants and other garments were remarkably stayed with a strong mix of commercial (not in a bad way), trend orientated (sight the eighties) and editorial. A post is going to go up on HuffPo shortly.
Did they break up over flash vs. sales. We'll never know. The show and clothing were marvelous. Pamela Anderson finished the show to a standing ovation.
Considering bloggers don't get photographers in tow (just yet). I think I took damn good pictures.
