The Tent at Boston Fashion Week opened Friday evening with some serious Solange Knowles-inspired sex appeal. Texas-born designer Sam Mendoza, known for his use of color and raw finishes, sent sporty-sophisticated looks down the runway, flowing to sultry 90's Janet Jackson. Mendoza started the show with some casual pieces, incorporating athletic textures and shapes like mesh and simple tanks. But it was the gowns that brought gasps from the crowd. Ethereal but tough, they could go straight from the red carpet to the boudoir.
The Tent at Boston Fashion Week is at The Mandarin Hotel Boston and The Shops at Prudential Center.

Can't wait to hear about your experience backstage!
DeleteGreat pics K! Love love Sam! He's stepped it up a little, I used to drool over his stuff last year at Louis, but these pieces are great.
ReplyDeleteHe could really take the easy way out here in Boston and build a collection filled with solid, stable, 'brahmin' looks. But he really goes his own way and creates wonderful, interesting (and yes, still wearable) work.
