Alexandre Herchcovitch’s Spring 2006 show was bold to say practically nothing, and quite interesting, in a way that struck me at first to be a bit, “yawn, I’ve-seen-this-before, yet-more-creative.” But after finishing my view, there is something to be said, or at least a few things I’d like to write.

I had to change the site’s color theme, to match.

New York Fashion Week Spring 2006 has come to a close, but I am loving the shows, and will be playing catch up and continue to review highlighted designers, in the coming days. I don’t want to miss anything just because I work long & hard on detailed entries and at my busy school schedule!
