So of course today I’m much more optimistic about the collections for fall.  That was after seeing Doo.ri (kind of loving the sequined lace tights), Proenza Schouler, the textures at Vivienne Tam, 3.1 Philip Lim, and a few others.  I’m including Juan Carlos Obando in my pick of looks because the man is just so sweet.  When I worked in buying, JC used to call personally to try to schedule appointments and was so nice and charming.  I wish him all the success in the world.  Same for Jeff Halmos of Shipley and Halmos (formerly of Trovata) for the same reasons… total sweetie.
