My Favorites from the Midnight Botanical Bash by Michael Costello NYFW│SS17

The Skylight at Moynihan Station opened it’s NYFW doors on Thursday the 8th and what a crowd it brought in. My first show there was of the always-fashion-forward → Michael Costello.

With a crowd full of recognizable faces, both influencers – models – and celebrities filling each seat, I was thrilled that mine was right next to Ellese Launer from Rock.Paper.Glam.

Costello presented his “Midnight Botanical Bash”  where “the natural beauty of a flower resembles that of a woman”

 ♥

… Gowns are flowing with color & voluminous pieces are ruffling across the landscape. Glimmers of light reflect off beads and metallics. The architecture of the garments are evocative of flowers blooming.

Delicate. Radiant. Beautiful.

 

Spanish tunes started the show and set the tone. I. immediately. felt transported. to a magical place where flower crowns are grander and gowns move like blooms. A midnight setting enhanced by soft shades of purple light, which illuminated the runway. Then the beat drops. Yellow lights shower the catwalk followed by dark purple gowns.

My favorite pieces from Costello’s collection consisted of the emerald greens, a color I’ve been obsessed with this year — speaking of — I can’t wait to debut Belia Isza’s gown. Something designer Aisha Chatha custom designed for me and my Afghan style — traditional Nikkah ceremony. So great.

Costello had quite an audience in attendance — Danielle Moinet, Dorothy Wang, Barron Hilton II and Paris Hilton — along with Petra Nemcova, some of the beautiful ladies of WAGS, and one of my personal favorite influencers Heidi Nazarudin from The Ambitionista.

But the stage lit-up when Tyson Beckford turned the corner, in a Costello fuchsia patterned number!

I think Costello has a way of going grand that makes some of his pieces perfect for costume — not quite ready off the runway — but image what he could do with a fairytale setting featured movie ♥
