Fall 2010 Fashion Week opened up with the worst blizzard to date this year, but that didn’t stop editors, fashionistas, celebrities and socialistas from trudging through a nor’easter to see the relaunching of John Bartlett‘s woman’s line. The runway show was held at Broad & Hudson in Tribeca on Wednesday the 10th, and the hair and makeup were gorgeously done by Shiseido. As usual, John delivered an impeccable collection of elegant, refined menswear and an equally refined line of beautifully tailored woman’s clothing. Bringing to mind famous actresses such as Diane Keaton as Annie Hall and Marlene Dietrich, John recreated his signature structured look to accommodate his loyal female following! As one observer stated so candidly, “There is nothing sexier than a woman in a tie!” All the models wore Frye boots, which were stunning and are definitely on our shopping list this year! Notables seated front row were Simon Doonan, Derek Warburton, Alex McCord and Simon VanKepen along with editors from Vogue, Details, Vanity Fair, GQ and the New York Times. Not even a blizzard could have kept the 200 plus invitees from comming out and supporting this icon of American fashion! Bravo!!
