Araks Fall 2008
Where & When: Saturday, February 2nd at 2 p.m. in the Promenade, Bryant Park
Runway Recap: In the first part of a joint show with Mara Hoffman, Araks expanded on its luxe but smart lingerie collection with geeky-sexy cardigans, boyfriend blazers, and bermuda shorts--think of a graduate student borrowing her professor-boyfriend's clothes. The key to the collection was in the contrast between the boxy basics and the sexy sheer layers.
Standout Look: The oversized vest and sheer henley are made for layering, while the chartreuse (trend alert!) layer adds a hint of color to this all-gray ensemble.
Bonus Points: The dorky glasses on the models complemented the intellectual bent of the collection.
Where to Buy: Barneys, Henri Bendel, and a host of other stores (see Araks.com)
