Vena Cava - Spring 2007

Just got out of the Vena Cava presentation. This is the first show I've seen done in a "presentation" format and I must say it's great for photos. Guests sipped wine and walked around snapping pictures of their favorite looks. Models on three separate "lawns" strewn with bottles of Mumm Cordon Rouge and copies of Interview portrayed picnickers and daydreamers. The pictures below are my own. Click images to view larger.

Fantastic photos! The oxfords and wedges were the best... Love Vena Cava.

Haha La Femme where on earth are you? We must have crossed paths somewhere.

Seems like the presentation style would have been awkward, and that you might not get to see the clothes as well?

[Elsa]

Actually, you get a better look at the clothes as you can come so close and spend as long as you like admiring them. ;)

Fabulous! I love it!!! It's so much more personal and it seems you get a good look at the clothes instead of a quick walk thru by the models.
