Last week I attended the Louis Verded show at New York Fashion Week with fellow blogger Kate of Taffeta & Tulips. I know I promised that I would share my recap last week, but my editorial calendar got tangled up — apologies for the delay. But here it is today — and head over to Kate’s blog for more from her Fashion Week experience.
The Louis Verdad show was held at 150 West 28th Street, a short walk from Penn Station. The building itself was beautiful, and I snapped a picture of the ornate ceiling and pendant lighting in the entryway. On the 12th floor, where the presentation took place, we entered a corner room with tons of natural light (which made it difficult to get good shots of the intricate detail of the pieces).
The small room was filled with mannequins showcasing everything from a white trench coat to a butterfly printed dress (a favorite of mine, for sure). I loved the use of texture, as seen in a number of the denim looks, patterns and prints that comprised this collection. But most of all, the wearability of the pieces stood out. Hello, pleated skirt!
{My personal favorite!}

{Love this dress, too!}
The pièce-de-résistance for me was that first navy dress I saw when I walked in. I shared it on Instagram (and it seemed that a lot of you liked it, too). It was timeless — but also had an effortless feel to it. The printed butterfly dress and the denim dress with the tie waist and embellished sleeves rounded out my top three picks from the show.
Here are a few more pieces from the collection:
After the presentation, Kate shot some outfit photos for me (they will be coming to the blog later this week), and we grabbed lunch at Seven Bistro. Remember that place? The one with the stunning chandeliers? I ordered a delicious appetizer of calamari while we chatted about blogging.
Then it was off to Penn Station for the hour and a half train ride home!
What a stunning collection! I love the mix of classic and edge in these pieces. Can’t decide which one I like best!

It’s a tough decision, right? For me, that navy dress was a showstopper!
I am in love with this collection so gorgeous! I hope you had such a blast at fashion week! Seems like so much fun!
