Awaiting in the luxury of Moet Champagne and Mercedes Benz VIP Lounge hosted by Bryant Park for New York Fashion 2010's collection, I sat next to Rosario Dawson.  This sister Boriqua, graciously allowed me to take a picture for blog.mildredbrignoni.com.  And, I didn't even have to butter her up.  We shared idle chatter, learning that she was a guest of the classic designer Tommy Hilfiger.  Maybe shameless, but at least I demonstrated the ol saying "seize the moment " and took the chance at getting rejected in front of our peers.  Alas, I silenced my audience and it seemed all other conversations stopped for those moments as everybody was obviously very interested in our interaction.  Afterwards, editors Daniella from The New York Times, Rebbecca from Wall Street Journal and others commended my brilliance and courage in asking her to pose for me.   Daniella even gave me a shout out and picture-tweeted to her 3,000 twitter fans.  This picture-tweeting Rosario inside the private lounge was re-tweeted as Daniella shared crediting me to her followers. 

On to real fashion news under the tents...was the show by the most exciting designer  Naeem Kahn. Loved by loyal Hollywood actresses such as Misha Barton and Heather Graham and as a new comer to the scene, I am certain his luxurious bejeweled gowns will be worn this Sunday during the Academy Awards.  Oscar night fashion shouldn't be boring.  I predict that most of the gifted designers are not to be sensible when in comes to red carpet garments.  Both Kahn along with Jason Wu prove that to be the case.
I hope we have more to see than frocks from Michael Kors and Donna Karan.  Underrepresented designers such as those I am covering here is precisely the reason why I blog.  Keep up with me and subscribe to this feed.
