RACHEL ANTONOFF “THE DANCE” F/W 2011 PRESENTATION. AND ALEXA CHUNG DANCING.

We first got excited about Rachel Antonoff’s presentation when we received an invite that didn’t ask us to come to a presentation, rather asking us if we’d like to go to the dance with her.  We quickly RSVP’d “yes”.  We are so happy we did.  Rachel Antonoff has been my favorite presentation so far. The sheer creativeness behind the concept of a high school dance to showcase her collection won a lot of people over before they even entered. It was hosted at Laguardia, a school for the arts down the block from the Lincoln Center, fitting the theme. Upon entering, a live band (The Like) was playing, and the models were actually dancing in individually, as couples, and  in groups. The clothes were as youthful as the atmosphere, featuring tights with lightning bolts, hearts, and other designs, plaid dresses, blouses, vests, and various interesting prints. Our favorite pieces were the tights.  We’d like a pair please! This is definetly a stand-out presentation this season, (not to mention that there were twinkies and candy necklaces on each table, which are the key to our hearts obviously). This collection brought out the likes of Tavi, Brad Goreski, Susie Bubble, and Rumi Neely and with good reason.
