While the more well-known fashion designers were getting their expected media coverage by all the more well-known media outlets over at Bryant Park, I had fun exploring some up and coming designers. One of my finds was the high fashion of Karen Sabag, a budding NYC designer who presented her Fall/Winter 2010 collection at a private invite-only event during the Mercedes Benz Fashion Week on February 17, 2010. Known more for her bridal designs, Sabag wowed the crowd with wool and fur-detailed feminine suits to delicate cocktail minis and gowns of satin and lace. To top it all off, bringing up the tail end of the show was CariDee English, the Season 7 winner of America’s Next Top Model!
Of course, that’s aside from the complimentary yummy water by event sponsor Fiji…and the free pizza I got backstage

Pre-show. I got there unfashionably early. Haha.

Snuck backstage for a pic of the madness and tried unsuccessfully in sneaking a meeting with the busy busy Karen Sabag.

Imagine these hot items off the Sabag runway while listening to one of the runway soundtrack tunes. It’ll be like you were there too!
