Sonia Rykiel’s Glamorama 2010 show opened with rotating disco balls and a French cover of my favorite Rolling Stones song, Paint it Black. The presentation was playful, with smiling models walking down the runway with an oversized pompon ball attached to each headband. The girls smiled at each other as they crossed paths, the loose clothing rippling as they moved. The collection was full of neutrals tan, white and gray, although there was an occasional pop of red. Macy’s did an excellent job presenting Ms. Rykiel’s clothing as wearable, a difficult task considering even Style.com noted the suits were much cut too large.

Although Glamorama spans four cities – Minneapolis, Chicago, Los Angeles and San Francisco – BOSS by Hugo Boss was only presented in Chicago. This was an extraordinary presentation from the clothing down to the structure and lighting. The show opened with the ascension of a giant BOSS logo up into the rafters, revealing the most incredible scaffolding stacked with male models. The show began with the models walking off of the platform and down onto the runway. Even my brother and fiance were completely blown away. The neon green lighting provided an intangible electricity, an energy that was highlighted as the models jauntily strutted down the catwalk. The clothing was sexy, the outfits well put together, and the styling impeccable.
