Club Runway

Thank you to my amazing models, Kate, Maria, Nadia and Susan!
You were all so gorgeous and I am so grateful to you!

TAHARI

Tahari showed their collection in their showrooms.

I loved the silk prints and Oriental theme
reflected in the cut, embroidery and obi sashes
as well as the cherry blossoms at reception.
I've always really loved the feminine styles by
Tahari-both pretty and innovative.

This long gown was my favorite!

Yesterday was my first fitting for the Supima runway show.
I'm showing two evening looks.

The first dress is inspired by my trip to Marrakesh, a black cotton knit undercover dress with my black chain jewelry. The second, my diva twist dress is inspired by traveling on Air India and watching Slumdog Millionaire.


My denim goddess gown from last July is in silhouette on the invite!

Here's another shot of my black chain necklaces featured on Glitterati Magazine

Spring

Just saw the Bergdorf Goodman holiday windows now that the crowds are no longer lined up it's really fun to see them. My favorite was the Spring window display featuring a stuffed white ostrich and a mannequin wearing a dress with crystals by Naeem Khan. The theme was the four seasons - Winter, Spring, Summer and Autumn - plus the Holiday season. Each window features artistic imagery on a white-on-white scheme. The windows were inspired by Natural History Museum dioramas. Bergdorf Goodman also featured "Calendar Girls" who represent the changing seasons. The autumnal “Harvest Moon” display features a rustic, farmland background and a Dolce & Gabbana gown with a wool overlay from the Fall/Winter 2008 collection.

Finalist for Supima competition

There's a new Supima Runway Competition and
I am one of the finalists.

I am designing two new evening wear looks; one in a
black cotton knit and the other in a lovely deep red cotton knit.

Both are for Fall 2009 and I'll be adding them to my web site
at www.astridland.com

The show takes place at Gotham Hall in NYC on January 14th.
