Fashion Week Spring 2010: Behnaz Sarafpour
Mon Sep 14 2009
With the Behnaz Sarafpour show scheduled for 9am on Sunday, there were plenty of tired-looking faces in the audience. Forty-five minutes late, the music dissipated and the lights dimmed. "Uncross your legs, please!" the photographers yelled to the people sitting in the front row so they could get an unblocked shot of the runway. The show began with a few romantic black-and-tan lace numbers, but it wasn't until the middle of the show that some color woke up the sleepy audience. The highlights included a black-and-neon-pink lace blouse matched with a stretch knit pant, as well as an ivory-and-yellow lace ribbon dress. The real showstopper was a multicolored neon sequined animal-print dress that glitzed and glammed down the runway. When the show ended, caffeine-desperate audience members trailed into the nearby Starbucks to load up on fuel.—Aynsley Karps
