C: Is for Clothes for all occasions

Fashion Week had more designer than I had time to write about. So this column is dedicated to the male variety. First Up Georges Chakra: This Lebanese designer is a frequent red carpet dresser and is favored by celebs like Queen Latifah, Fergie, Carrie Underwood, Mischa Barton, Beyonce and Helen Mirren. At the tents, Jennifer Love Hewitt and American Idol favorite Kellie Pickler sat front and center. Though there were a few numbers that looked like Judy Jetson, for the most part Chakra's lines are elegant, with exquisite details like Swarski crystal backs. If you are looking to stand out at an Award Show this is a designer you should consider. This gold gown looks Oscar or Tony ready.

Carlos Miele collection drew Debra Messing sitting at the corner seat. It was no wonder she was there, as these outfits looked made for her. Carlos's show is a delight to sit through as he uses live Brazilian music. As the models waltzed down the runway so did the musicians, much to the rude paparazzi's dismay. Furs, lush colors, iridescent fabrics were paired with long gowns and cigarette pants. The cropped fur jackets made everything look rich and complete, though I am sure PETA was ragging. Chakra also used furs in his collection. Fur is here to stay. Miele played with architecture and caught our eye.

Last but not least is Nicholas K had something for the boys as well as the girls. Bringing a tough 90s vibe to the runway with loose fitting plaid and leather jackets. The show was all about attitude and what any recession weary human needs, easy style that look and feel good to wear. Radiant colors popped with cinnabar, mint and cobalt blue snuggled against tones of smoke, indigo and charcoal. Silhouettes strategically layered under casual looking jackets and heavy knitted sweaters, the women’s line looked so luscious and wearable that anticipating its fall arrival in stores seems like too long a wait. This line is for someone who doesn't take themselves too serious but is confident in their sensuality. Clothes make the man or women but need to allow the real person to shine and that is a F.A.C.T.
