When Kelly Cutrone decided to combine Nicholas K, Sergio Davila, and Mara Hoffman, she was well aware who would steal the show.
After watching the first two designers, I was only mildly impressed. Then the lights dimmed, the music changed, and flowing, tiered dresses appeared on the runway in bohemian styles with African-inspired prints. If Mara and Klee had any uncertainty about how the collection would be received, they had a sigh of relief as their first look initiated an admiring applause.
The inspiration?
“Once were princes, now are thieves,” Mara Hoffman tells Women's Wear Daily.
